That's a talent that will be in even greater demand in the run-up to April elections, when Italian voters will decide whether to reinstall Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for another five years or to oust him in favor of former European Commission President Romano Prodi. Thirty-six years ago, a young priest officiated at the wedding of a fresh-faced economics professor, who, like the priest, came from a region near Bologna.
