Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani was elected on Saturday as leader of Forza Italia, the conservative party founded 29 years ago by billionaire media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi who died last month.

Tajani has spent much of his career outside Italy, serving as a European Commissioner in Brussels and as president of the European Parliament. He lacks his predecessor's charisma and is not among Italy's more popular politicians. "It's not easy to lead a political movement that has had Silvio Berlusconi as its leader for almost 30 years," he said, speaking on a stage in front of a huge image of Berlusconi.
