After opening at next month's nato summit in Brussels, he will warm up at the E.U summit in Göteborg, then step into the spotlight as host of July's G8 meeting in Genoa. Whatever happens, Il Cavaliere is unlikely to make as big a spectacle as he did when Italy hosted a U.N. conference on organized crime in Naples in 1994: with the world's most powerful leaders looking on, Berlusconi was served with papers putting him under formal investigation...
