"Fighting for his political life after the disappearance of his parliamentary majority, Silvio Berlusconi has decided not to stray too far from Rome for his holidays this year.
Being one of the world's richest men, his "staycation" is rather more upmarket than those enjoyed by other crisis-hit Italians, as he has decided to rent the 15th-century Castello di Tor Crescenza in the Grottarosa district of northern Rome.
And it emerged at the weekend that he has pulled off a stunt that further embellishes his reputation as the grand illusionist of European politics.Italy's prime minister appears to have made the entire castle, complete with ramparts and towers, vanish from the face of the earth.
Google Earth, that is." (John Hooper, The Guardian)
