The Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was struck in the face today by
a man holding a small replica of Milan's cathedral, leaving him with two broken
teeth and forcing him to spend the night in hospital.

Witnesses said Mr Berlusconi was attacked after a political rally in the
centre of Milan, as he was signing autographs in the square in front of the
cathedral, the Duomo. He had just finished giving a speech to rally support for
his ruling coalition amid continuing speculation about his future and an
increasingly divided government.
