Silvio Berlusconi: Italy marks 90th birth anniversary

Italy marks the 90th birth anniversary of Silvio Berlusconi, the former Prime Minister, media tycoon, and owner of AC Milan. Commemorations are taking place across the country, including a political event organized by Forza Italia in Naples and tributes from European leaders like Roberta Metsola, who described him as a man who “marked Italian and European political history.”

In Sardinia, Berlusconi’s family and close associates, including his children and longtime collaborators like Adriano Galliani, are gathering for a memorial lunch at Villa Certosa. This gathering may be one of the final events at the estate, which has reportedly been sold to a Qatari royal family for approximately 350 million euros.

Reflections on his legacy highlight his profound impact on Italian society through his business ventures in construction and media, his leadership of AC Milan, and his transformative role in politics following the Tangentopoli scandal. His influence spanned from reshaping the television landscape with Mediaset to introducing new communication styles to the political arena.
