He's not running as Silvio Berlusconi.
The history of communism, with more than 100 million killed, is not behind us
Not satisfied with that, you decided (Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi) had to go, so he was removed
I have done nothing wrong. Tarantini just came for dinner. We had 17 dinners together.
as Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s majority unraveled amid plummeting investor confidence, Napalitano, 86, sounded out Italy’s political and business elites to build a consensus on the country’s future. Berlesconi resigned Nov. 12 and Monti was sworn in four days later.

In February 2011, judges set a trial date for Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for the alleged commercial sexual exploitation of a Moroccan child

Sorry, but we had to wait for this whole Greek debt thing to get resolved. Also, Brad [Muir, project lead] was really upset about the state of Italian politics, and vowed he wouldn't release his game in Europe until Silvio Berlusconi stepped down. You can understand his feelings, I'm sure.
I like the flowers on it, but next time bring one with pictures of the kamasutra
The No. 3 national story, at 11%, was the economic crisis in Europe, which last week became an even bigger political crisis as Greece worked to form a new government and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi announced his resignation after the country’s Parliament agreed to approve economic austerity...
The Monti government may be able to enjoy its honeymoon period for another couple of weeks because people are so happy that Silvio Berlusconi has gone ... But this will finish soon because Monti's program is extremely capitalist and follows on with this disastrous idea that the weakest need to pay for t...
The only time I met Silvio Berlusconi, I started very serious, saying Europe has got to deal with the great competitive challenge of Asia, etc. He just butted in: 'I have slept with more women than your Prime Minister.’ That was when I knew the Eurozone was in secure and safe hands.
