As a returned exile witnessing at first hand my first election in Italy for 43 years, I am struck by the contrast between the permanence of the country and the fragility of its politics.
My garden in the Roman countryside is dominated by a tall watch-tower dating from ad1000, probably earlier. Just over the hill lies the Via Salaria, one of the great Roman roads. It doesn't take much imagination to hear the tramp of the legions marching towards Rome. There is a sense of eternity that makes even Britain seem arriviste by comparison. Quite what the legions would have made of Silvio Berlusconi and Romano Prodi is harder to imagine. Caligula versus Pompey, perhaps?
