Now Italy is a REPUBLIC
Made up of 20 Regions and called by its national name:

The President of Italy is
Giorgio
Napolitano
Silvio Berlusconi
Prime Minister
Examples of Berlusconi being a racist, gauche and ill-mannered:
In 2003, he advised investors in New York to relocate to Italy because the secretaries were better looking than their American counterparts. “Another reason to invest in Italy is that we have beautiful secretaries…superb girls!”
Examples of Berlusconi being a racist, gauche and ill-mannered:
In November 2008 he was accused of being racist, or at least gauche, when he hailed then President-elect Obama as “handsome, young and also suntanned.”
Examples of Berlusconi being a racist, gauche and ill-mannered:
Two days after Italy’s biggest earthquake for 30 years made 17,000 people homelsess, Berlusconi toured some of the tent sites around l’Aquila and said those made homeless should see it as a camping trip. (Tent cities were put up and people endured freezing temperatures.)
Examples of Berlusconi being a racist, gauche and ill-mannered:
To a German MEP: “I know that in Italy there is a man producing a film on Nazi concentration camps – I shall put you forward for the role of Kapo (a guard chosen from among the prisoners) – you would be perfect!”
Examples of Berlusconi being a racist, gauche and ill-mannered:
“I’d go anywhere with you, even to a deserted island. If I weren’t already married, I would marry you straight away.” His wife, Veronica Lario, wrote a letter published in a national newspaper calling for a public apology which she duly received.
Berlusconi was acused of embarassing his country by yelling a greeting at US President Barack Obama and earning a rebuke from the Queen during an official G20 photo shoot in London.
He bellowed: “Mr. Obama!”, to which he received a quiet response of “Mr. Berlusconi” from the US President. The Queen bristled at his booming voice and said: “What is it? Why does he have to shout so loud?”
