Less than two years after Silvio Berlusconi lost the election and exited as prime minister, the deeply divisive mogul-turned-pol is on the brink of a comeback, after the crumbling of the center-left government that replaced his conservative one.
Berlusconi may win the early vote scheduled for April 13-14 -- he's about 10 percentage points ahead in the polls -- which is making some leftists, well, meditative.
Helmer-thesp Nanni Moretti, who excoriated Berlusconi in "The Caiman" and stars in Berlin drama "Quiet Chaos," is mulling a response similar to his enervated character in the latter film.
"Faced with the crisis our country is going through, I'd like to do the same thing: sit on a park bench and try to sort out what is happening to me and to us all," Moretti says.
Berlusconi's main leftist opponent, Rome mayor Walter Veltroni, is a bit less philosophical, however.
"My country doesn't want a sequel of a movie it's already seen," Veltroni says.
