I have always enjoyed my visits to Italy, and will continue to do so.
Great speech...God bless him for giving it...God bless the Italian troops for their sacrifice and the Italian people who support us in this war.
Bravo Italia! Bravo Berlusconi!
Obviously, the Prime Minister does not read the NY Times.....
Berlusconi talks straight, not like a politician. He doesn't have that BS socialist agenda clouding his thoughts. Maybe he has been reading Cicero, finding out what it was that made Rome great in its day.
Bravo to Berlusconi!
Alright Dubya is in Italy
Rack ittt
Amen..great speech!
Ditto on everything that you wrote!!!!
This statement will only further convince the Euro-weenies (which does not include all Europeans, but they seem to be a solid majority) that Berlusconi is a right-wing radical. Practically a new Mussolini (yes, the irony will be lost on them for using this statement to bolster that belief).
I'm of Italian ancestory and he's the *ONLY* PM I've known by name my entire life. That says something, lol.

One of the 3ID troops who landed at Anzio, the late Samuel Lucido, later met a young girl named Assunta in Rome. Twelve years later, here I was.

It seems that the Italians have not forgotten our sacrifice. I hope that the good relationship between our 2 countries continues. Of all European countries I want to visit Italy is at the top of my list!!!!!
WTF? LOL
"They must know the price the Americans paid to free our continent. Half a million killed in world war II. More than 7000 killed on D-Day alone, in Normandy; 25,000 killed to liberate Italy.""Some of them rest in peace in our country, buried in Anzio. I suggest you visit that cemetery, and see the names of people unkown to you: John, Charlie, Robert, Ted, Howard... Men aged 20, 22, who gave up their life for our freedom."
Bravo Signore Berlusconi, BRAVO!!!
