Silvio Berlusconi (R), leader of centre-right People of Freedom party (PDL) speaks flanked by Angelino Alfano, general secretary of the PDL during a press conference following a meeting with Italy’s President on March 29, 2013 at the Quirinale, the Italian presidential palace in Rome. Italian political leaders were poised for a new round of talks today after leftist Pier Luigi Bersani failed to form a government following inconclusive elections in eurozone’s third-largest economy. President Giorgio Napolitano was scheduled to host the talks, as European capitals and financial markets watched warily amid renewed turbulence in the eurozone. AFP PHOTO / TIZIANA FABI
