I don't care what it was called. A PM retires, a new government is formed, there's a vote of confidence in Parliament - that's how it
works. I'm sure some of Berlusconi's cronies (heh) are unhappy that the happy days are over, but they should either point to where the rules were broken or shut up about it being a coup.

Somebidy needs to tell Costas Wasshisname that members of government aren't elected in parliamentary systems. Seriously, this is business as usual.
