La Commedia è Finita!

???Into the vacuum stepped Silvio Berlusconi. Though it's hard to believe now, at the time he seemed revolutionary, too. He talked about releasing Italians from the chains of bureaucracy, corruption and high taxes. He brought a whole new group of young? people into politics, all dressed in cashmere sweaters. He named his political party Forza Italia?after the slogan of the national soccer team?and for a brief moment, that seemed fun. For an even briefer moment politics became chic, even among the northern Italian middle classes, who had always stayed away. In Milan, I was told in 1993, it was actually rude to ask a man which party he voted for, much worse than asking him how much money he made. Berlusconi was supposed to change all of that. ?
