GUARDIAN/
Italy's worst street protests in years violently erupted after PM Silvio Berlusconi continued his political rule, winning by only three votes in the lower house of parliament. However, he easily won a Senate vote.
Protesters set fire to cars, hurled eggs, smoke bombs and paint while police responded with tear gas.
At least 80 have been reported injured.
Berlusconi, 74, is halfway through his five-year term but recent disclosures involving his relationships with women have made him look like a pathetic aging lothario and international embarrassment.
