Berlusconi the Wizard 2

Last week I wrote a post entitled Berlusconi the Wizard about a lovely little cartoon of Berlusconi tackling the Naples rubbish problem in is own inimitable way. Well, I’ve found said cartoon, which appeared in the Italian daily Corriere della Sera.

It can be seen here on PressDisplay.com – if the link does not take you to the right edition, just use the little calendar to find the 20th May edition of Corriere della Sera. The ‘toon is on the front page, and if you click on said page, you’ll see the full size version.
