Italy, considered too big to bail out, has replaced Greece as the main cause for concern in the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis.
Berlusconi has been on the ropes for weeks, beset by a string of sex and legal scandals, political defeats and, most crucially, a loss of confidence on international markets.
But the 75-year-old, who has dominated Italian politics for most of the past two decades, had steadfastly refused to step down until Tuesday's vote and battled until the last to win over rebels in his PDL party.
The vote showed he had failed to stem the revolt and Berlusconi's bitterness was revealed by a photographer who caught the words "8 traitors" jotted down on his notepad in parliament after the result was read out by the speaker.
意大利总理西尔维奥-贝卢斯科尼本周二宣布将会辞职。此前他在议会投票中遭遇耻辱性的惨败,同党议员倒戈使他失去了议会的大多数支持。
贝卢斯科尼证实了意大利总统乔治-纳波利塔诺的声明,称自己在议会通过欧盟领导人要求的紧急预算改革后将立刻辞职。意大利已成为欧债危机的“风暴眼”。
参众两院的投票有望于本月举行,这将意味着派头十足的亿万富翁兼媒体大亨贝卢斯科尼17年统治的终结。
贝卢斯科尼未能实施改革加剧了党内倒戈。他在接受自己旗下的第五频道电视台采访时说,唯一的选择是提前大选。但这会延长已经打压了市场信心的政坛不稳定期。
