Berlusconi said it is "possible" that Italy may change the venue of next year's G8 summit if the country finds it difficult to set up necessary facilities there, according to Italian reporters, who attended his news conference Wednesday.

Berlusconi, however, did not specify an alternative site for the 35th summit at the news conference, which was held only in Italian with no interpretation, after the end of this year's three-day summit in Toyako, Hokkaido.
