Casa delle Libertà

Casa delle Libertà, or House of Freedoms in English, is an Italian right-wing party alliance, composed of Forza Italia[?], Alleanza Nazionale and Lega Nord[?] (Northen League), lead by Silvio Berlusconi.

The alliance won the 1994 elections, but the resulting government was short lived since the Northen League broke free and went to opposition.

After a 5-year left-wing government, Berlusconi managed to cool down the hotheads of the League, and won the elections again (2001), this time with a stable government.

In 2003 it was routed in local elections by the left wing Ulivo[?] alliance, and the League has threatened to pull out of the Casa delle Libertà.
