Pier Luigi Bersani will meet former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s deputies today, seeking to ease years of conflict in his bid to assume the Italian premiership.
Bersani, 61, has two days to overcome a shortfall of support in parliament and may need help from Berlusconi to get there. The appointment, set for 4:15 p.m. in Rome, is between Bersani and a delegation led by Angelino Alfano, head of Berlusconi’s People of Liberty party.
