Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi Decides To Resign

By Jennifer Quinn

In a long-delayed move that doomed his third government, Silvio Berlusconi vowed to resign as Italy's longest-serving prime minister after losing majority in lower house of parliament and key economic reforms have been approved. "I will resign as soon as the law is passed... I see elections being held at the beginning of February and I will not be a candidate in them," he said. In the latest speech, Silvio Berlusconi claimed that he would not run again in early polls. In fact, both allies and opponents have been urging Silvio Berlusconi to hand over as Italy's debt crisis increases. Meanwhile, Italy's borrowing costs hit a record high of 7% on Wednesday. Berlusconi shared that he expected President Giorgio Napolitano to dissolve parliament and call early elections after his resignation. He also proposed former Minister of Justice Angelino Alfano as a candidate to replace him in future elections.

Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi married his first wife Carla Elvira Dall'Oglio in 1965 and the couple had two children: Maria Elvira and Pier Silvio. He was divorced from Dall'Oglio in 1985 after having a relationship with the actress Veronica Lario with whom he subsequently had three children: Barbara, Eleonora and Luigi. Prime Minister of Italy married Veronica Lario five years after his first divorce. By this time, Berlusconi was a well-known entrepreneur, and his wedding was a notable social event. One of his best men was former Prime Minister and leader of the Italian Socialist Party Bettino Craxi. In May 2009, his second wife Veronica Lario announced that she was to file for divorce after he was photographed at the 18th birthday party of an aspiring model, Noemi Letizia.

The main reason is that his working majority in parliament disappears as he struggles to pass legislation with the aim of reducing Italy's huge national debt

 

It is necessary to emphasize that his third term in office sees new political scandals, often as result of his own gaffes

25 Years of Silvio Berlusconi at AC Milan

By Phillips Crook

Apart from being the Prime Minister of Italy and third richest man in the country, Silvio Berlusconi also owns AC Milan – the most officially recognized international title. Recently, Silvio Berlusconi has celebrated his 25 years in helm of AC Milan. Thursday, 20th of February 1986, is an important day in history of Associazione Calcio Milan when businessman Silvio Berlusconi bought the club after a fascinating negotiation with the former owner Giuseppe Farina. Buying Milan in danger of bankruptcy-bound and scandal-ridden, the successful businessman who owns the Fininvest group with six thousand employees, “is the ideal solution for the future of Milan”. 25 marvelous years has passed, let's see the most memorable moments of the Silvio Berlusconi and the club.

Silvio Berlusconi came to the Milanello training center  by his Agusta 109 helicopter on a snowy March 1, 1986 after he bought the club from former President Giuseppe Farina.

At that time, the club owned such talent footballers including Franco Baresi (R) and Daniele Massaro

AC Milan marked the first trophy under the Silvio Berlusconi era in the 1987/1988 Serie A after winning a team of Diego Maradona, Ciro Ferrara and Careca.

As a brilliant strategy, the Italian Entreprenuer hid the new coaches Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello. It was the time when AC Milan turned into the golden age with 7 European titles, 2 Intercontinental Cups and 5 UEFA Champions League tournaments.

Fabio Capello later moved to the giant Real Madrid. Then, he returned to Serie A for AC Milan at a deal in the 1997/1998 season. However, AC Milan unfortunately went up to the 10th position in the list among 18 teams.

In summer of 2007, A.C. Milan signed an 8.5-million-euro deal with Leonardo from Paris Saint Germain. Leonardo quickly became the most prominent part of the team thanks to his intelligence as well as his liking, both outside and on the field.

The 1990s seemed to be the return of AC Milan. The club won the European Cup in 1989 and kept it up in the following year.

Paolo Maldini became a legendary defender to the Italian people.

After sacking Fatih Terim due to poor results, Silvio Berlusconi appointed Carlo Ancelotti as Milan manager in 2001. Under Ancelotti\\\'s reign, Milan won the 2003 Champions League and the Scudetto in 2004.

Italian club Milan beat England\\\'s Liverpool to become the winner of 2007 UEFA Champions League Final.

In 2007, Silvio Berlusconi shockingly arrived at the Milanello training center in Carnago in a helicopter.

From 2007 until now, AC Milan has not added any new cups in the team’s collection.
