   PM Silvio Berlusconi's coalition lost local elections in four major cities...including Milano and Naples.
   His party was also ousted in Trieste, Novara and Gallarate.
   The center-left even won in Arcore, the tiny town where Berlusconi’s huge estate is located and site of many sex parties, so-called "bunga bungas"...were held.
    But especially painful was the loss of Milano...a Berlusconi stronghold...for 18 years.
    Minister Roberto Maroni called the vote was a "slap in the face" to the government.
    Previously, Berlusconi said to lose in Milan was "unthinkable" and called the city election a referendum on his leadership.
    The business newspaper Il Sole 24 wrote: "What happened in Milan, Naples, Trieste, Cagliari, Novara and other centers resembles a revolution."

 How humiliating for the ever randy anciano Silvio!
 But then he must be getting used to embarrassment.
