Thousands of protesters converged on Milan over the weekend of the 5-6 February 2011 to call for Silvio Berlusconi to resign as Italian Prime Minister in the face of an escalating corruption and sex scandal.

The rallies came at the end of a week of mounting judicial accusations about 'Rubygate', as Italy has come to call the latest investigations into Mr Berlusconi’s relations with suspected prostitutes.
