Non event.

Look up the list of Italian Ministries and PM's since 1945. They change quicker than a ferrari's tyre in a Formula One race.

Go back to your homes ladies and gents, there is nothing to see here.

There is someting about Prodi however. Their was a rumor circulating that he may have been a FSB man. That Russian spy (I forget his name, Niventyenko?) the one that was poisoned claimed on his deathbed confession that Prodi was a Russian agent. The spy was poisoned in Italy and his death has been investigated there, I wonder if their was a connection.

Note this is just an accusation, their isn't any PROOF to what I am saying.

Interesting bit of info there Mmarsh. Nothing would surprise me in Italian politics. Prodi was well respected by a variety of people of different political shades when I lived there, but who knows.

Padre, that request was not made "For the benefit of monolingual Americans" but as a request for conformation to the rules of the forum.
