“Silvio Berlusconi made history in this country. Many loved him, many hated him: today everyone must recognize that his impact on political life but also on economics, sports and television was unprecedented. Today Italy mourns together to his family, his loved ones, his companies, his party. My most affectionate and most sincere embrace to all those who loved him. In these hours, I carry with me the memories of our meetings, of the many advices, of our agreements, of our clashes. But above all of a phone call in which Silvio, not the President, made me shed a tear talking about my mother. We will miss you, Pres, may the earth be light on you”.
