The seemingly never-ending prosecution of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on charges of corruption and statutory rape have brought Italy to a new low. Berlusconi and some members of the government are now actively protesting against what they say is a highly politicized judicial system.

Italy’s future hangs in the balance, and only one thing can help put it back on a steady course.
