SILVIO Berlusconi is reviving his musical career, barely a week out of office.
The billionaire media mogul and three-time Italian premier released a new CD with his longtime musical collaborator Mariano Apicella yesterday.
Berlusconi - a one-time cruise ship crooner - doesn't sing on the new collection, titled "True Love," but co-wrote all 11 songs.
Featuring love songs and jazz arrangements it is the fourth CD Berlusconi and Apicella, a Neapolitan guitarist and singer, have recorded.
It's too early to say how sales are going.
"I think that with his experience he will be able to write very good love songs," said Maria Grazia Merilli, a tourist from Florence, near a Rome store where the CD was on sale. Another passerby was less appreciative of Berlusconi's musical gifts. "He is disgusting," said Maria Rossi.
Berlusconi resigned earlier this month after failing to persuade markets and European partners that Italy could escape its debt crisis.
Famous for his parties, he has been charged with allegedly paying for sex with an underage girl. The trial is under way in Milan.
