ITALY OBAMA ELECTION REAX

A close-up view of a terracotta statuette of American president-elect Barack Obama, sculpted by Neapolitan nativity scene artisan Genni Di Virgilio, in his shop in Naples, southern Italy, Wednesday Nov. 5, 2008. A triumphant Barack Obama vowed to be a president for all America, even those who voted against him, and asked for patience to address the nation's problems of war and finance that he called the greatest challenges of a lifetime. The first black president-elect cast his election as a defining moment in the country's 232-year history and a rebuke to cynicism, fear and doubt. (AP Photo/Salvatore Laporta)
