Italy is now a great country to invest in... Today we have fewer communists and those who are still there deny having been one. Another reason to invest in Italy is that we have beautiful secretaries... superb girls.

In Italy, I am almost seen as German for my workaholism. Also I am from Milan, the city where people work the hardest. Work, work, work - I am almost German.

I am absolutely sure to be the most democratic man to ever become Prime Minister in Italy.

It's a great sacrifice to do what I'm doing. I'm not having fun at all...What a brutal job!

I'm not a traditional politician, and I have a sense of humor. I'll try to soften it and become boring, maybe even very boring, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to.

I unfortunately have never in my life been to a wild party.

Women are lining up to marry me. Legend has it, I know how to do it.
