Berlusconi to quit
2006-04-30
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi says he will resign, ending three weeks of wrangling over a narrow election defeat and clearing the political decks for Romano Prodi to take power. Mr Berlusconi, who had previously alleged election fraud and refused to formally concede defeat after April 9-10 polls, will hand his resignation to President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi on Tuesday after a scheduled Cabinet meeting.
Addio, Silvio. We're gonna miss you. In a year or two your people will, too...

#1  Too bad, for awhile Italy was a contender. Now it is going to drop back into the same category as Spain and France, has-beens dreaming of past glories as they wait to die.
