FILE - Former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi waves to reporters as he arrives at the Chamber of Deputies to meet Mario Draghi, in Rome, on Feb. 9, 2021. Former premier Silvio Berlusconi has bowed out of Italy’s presidential election set for next week. Berlusconi, 85, said in a statement on Saturday that he had decided to “take another step on the path of national responsibility.” The media mogul  insisted he had nailed down enough voters to become head of state, but he asked his supporters not to cast ballots for him.

A marathon meeting at Silvio Berlusconi’s luxury villa set Italy on course for a snap election.
