First Right-Wing Mayor in Rome Since WWII

He sounds like a perfect complement to Berlusconi (that rancid combination of Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, and Benito Mussolini).

UPDATE: Greeted with cries of "Duce! Duce!" Meanwhile, Umberto Bossi brags about having 300,000 street-fighters on hand to deal with his political enemies... why isn't this being treated in the media as, um, really scary? The UK's Independent newspaper calls a spade a spade: Alemanno = "former street-fighting neo-fascist." There's also a nice run-down of key figures on the Italian right. Is Bush going to reject and denounce?
