Berlusconi continues serenade, doesn't concede to Prodi
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has still not conceded last week's Italian Elections to Romano Prodi.
He said when the new parliamentary session opens on Friday he still intends to report to work, and stay there until Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi tells him to resign.
Berlusconi seems to still be standing by his claims of election fraud by Prodi supporters, and claims that he won a "political victory" by securing the most votes in the election, though his coalition did not win enough seats to retain power.
This all sounds vaguely familiar in a pennisular election, but I'm having trouble finding Tallahassee on my map of Italy. Is that near Trieste?
