    My favourite berlusconi moment was when a protestor bashed him in the face with a tiny replica of the colloseum.

      That would be a replica of “Duomo di Milano”, the central church of Milan. The assaliant was mentally unstable so it wasn’t as much a political statement as we’d like.

      He still broke his nose though.

      It was not the Colosseum, but the Milan cathedral.

    Crazy how long he was still active in politics. He could have retired ages ago…

    There are already 100 other Berlusconi like people trying to get the power like he had. One passing away doesn’t change human nature.

    Any ideas what the implications might be for the governing coalition? Any chances this will lead to some sort of trouble or realignment?

      Forza Italia had an 8% share last elections so I don’t think it matters a lot. We’ll most likely see a bunch of defection to the other two coalition parties and nothing else

    I’m Italian and I didn’t like him. Still his death hurts quite a bit. He’s been around since I was a child, he was always there (probably owning a media company helped). He was well loved by many thanks to owning AC MILAN.

    The most similar thing I can think of was the death of Elizabeth II.
