So is Berlusconi going to be hit with innumerable charges once he steps down?
He loses the excuse of 'legitimate impediment' to his trials progressing and his being present in court. So in the Mills trial he will be expected on 26 November, as I understand it Elby.
My friends have been organizing this for months:

I'd been invited but couldn't be there. It may not sound like much in this amateur recording made on a phone or something, but it is the Coro di Santa Cecilia (and listen out for the trumpet towards the end).
Hallelujah!!
Excellent. One down, how many more to go?
