Billionaire conservative former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is on track to become Italy's next leader after his center-left rival Walter Veltroni Monday conceded general election defeat.
Italians began voting Sunday in snap general elections that could bring the return of a familiar face in Italian politics: former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Italians will go to the polls Sunday and Monday for general elections that could bring the return of a familiar face in Italian politics: former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
I know, news of yet another Italian political crisis is not very exciting, certainly not easy to explain and in the end chances are that the next prime minister will keep his job for a year or two, and then the circus will start again.
For anyone who has ever visited Rome and witnessed first-hand the normal state of chaos that is synonymous with the capital, the orderliness and calm that fell on Rome following the death of Pope John Paul II and leading up to his funeral could hardly be believed.
Thousands of mourners, including many world leaders, will gather at the Vatican Friday to pay their final respects at the funeral Mass for Pope John Paul II.

In 2000, Pope John Paul II pondered whether the new millennium would mark the end of his pontificate and considered having his funeral in his Polish homeland, according to his spiritual testament, which the Vatican published Thursday.
Mourners by the thousands wound through the streets of Rome with the hope of seeing Pope John Paul II's body Wednesday, and late at night the Vatican prohibited any more people from joining the line.
