What's going on in Italian politics right now, anyway?

I just got an IM from my Italian ex-roommate with a bit of news about this, and turns out he was right. The first post-Berlusconi Italian PM might be resigning due to their involvement in Afghanistan and a U.S. base in N.Italy.

Anybody know anything more about this? Is every other gov't somehow involved in American military affairs going thru all this crazy shit right now?

Isn't the base in Vicenza where the low flying plane killed those people?

In any case, Vicenza's got a trove of Palladian architecture.

Oh God I hope not! He's been a great pm so far!

On a seperate matter I finally got to see il caimano. Very good. Well worth the wait!

Well, that's Italy fucked then...

So sad about this as it would have been brilliant to have had someone else serve a full term and take the sting out of Berlusconi's claim to fame.
