# Le Elezioni

A quick note on the Italian elections, which Berlusconi looks set to win.

*Originally posted on my Tumblr travel blog, A Roman Spring with IES, in 2008.*

I just wanted to drop in quickly and mention a few things before I head to bed.

First, I had a wonderful time with Riley in Prague this past weekend. I will be sure to write a nice full blog entry sometime soon.

Second, today was the end of the voting period for Italy’s elections. These elections are to elect a new parliament and national leader. It came about after the previous parliament collapsed just 20 months into office. Unfortunately, this happens all to often in Italy, as this is the 62nd election to be held in 63 years after WWII. The election results are looking to be complete and Berlusconi, the richest man in Italy and one of the richest in the world, looks to be the winner. If you would like to know more, [here is a brief article from BBC of the results.](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7347618.stm)

That’s all for now. I will be back later for my time in Prague.
