Great showman,great bussiness man,great playboy Berlusconi was great in most things he did.
But was the man that officially hosted Vittorio Mangano, bridgehead of the Mafia in Sicily, as stable boy.
He will be remembered as the one who definitively ruined Italy both politically and morally.
Rot in Hell, Silvio.

[Dave65827]

I respect his open womanizing and corruption very few politicians own up to who they are

[Moscone65]

I wonder if he ever hosted a bunga bunga party with Toto riina

[MSFRD]

Can you imagine partying with this guy in his 70s let alone his 20s? I don’t know if he was a force for good or evil for Italy, I haven’t observed the politics too avidly. I did like that he was outspoken on certain issues which in this day and age is almost the best you can ask for from a politician.

MSFRD Berlusconi gave political roles to women whose only "merit" was that they were beautiful and slept with him.
No one has ever reproached him for having a palace full of girls as his personal harem.
Silvio was a sex addict, she even called Merkel culona inchiavabile "unfuckable big ass woman" and in another of having seduced an important European woman politician.
And these are only part of damages made to italy credibility.

He does look like a mafia member with that 357 magnum behind him, this is photo from late 1970's back when he was member of P2 and close to powerful memebers of sicilian mafia.

Berlusconi was the Prime Minister and Merkel too.
