^ Uh... Midtown you posted an article previously that states about the summit:

"But in the wake of the G8 summit, Mr Berlusconi’s critics were forced to concede that things had, by and large, gone well in L’Aquila and that the prime minister had, in the words of the Financial Times, trod “the path from playboy to statesman”.

So which is it?

And the article you've posted above is from the Guardian. In a follow up story a Guardian columnist notes:

"The chaos the Guardian predicted did not happen."

And:

"The Guardian is free to attack Berlusconi, as long as it has the facts. But claims that Italy is unfit for summitry are unfounded"
