 ROME (AP) - Silvio Berlusconi quickly laid out his strategy Tuesday for resolving Italy's crises, from its ailing national airline to garbage in Naples, a day after the media mogul triumphed in parliamentary elections.
Bolstered by right-wing allies — an anti-immigrant party and a former neo-fascist grouping — the 71-year-old media magnate emerged from the election with a generous majority in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.
Berlusconi's forces will need a solid command of Parliament if they are to make headway in solving long-simmering economic and social problems, including ones that plagued his 2001-2006 government, Italy's longest since the end of World War II.
