Premier Silvio Berlusconi resigned in Rome, Saturday, Nov. 12, 2011, after the Parliament’s lower chamber passed European-demanded reforms, ending a 17-year political era and setting in motion a transition aimed at bringing Italy back from the brink of economic crisis. The 75-year-old billionaire media mogul, who came to power for the first time in 1994 using a soccer chant “Go Italy” as the name of his political party, became Italy’s longest-serving post-war premier.
