The first time was on May 20th, when an earthquake struck the region, killing at least seven people and leaving thousands homeless. Not as tragic or lethal, but perhaps more significant for Italy's future, was the jolt delivered by an election held as aftershocks continued the next day in the city of Parma, renowned for its hams, cheese and agro-industries. The city's well-to-do voters elected as their mayor the candidate of a party led by a shaggy-haired comic. In a two-way run-off, the Five Star Movement, founded by Beppe Grillo, a comedian and blogger, took 60% of the vote. Mr Grillo, a vitriolic critic of political corruption and one of the first Italians to grasp the opportunities for mobilisation created by the internet, launched his movement less than three years ago. Recent polls have suggested it could take between 14% and 17% of the vote at the general election that has to be held before next spring.
