Subject: Silvio Berlusconi: Former Italian prime minister dies

Written By: Philip Eno on 06/12/23 at 8:19 am

The 86-year-old senator and leader of the Forza Italia party, whose string of financial and sex scandals made him the most polarising figure in modern Italy, was admitted to hospital on Friday.

He had been discharged from hospital last month where he was treated for over six weeks for a lung infection linked to chronic leukaemia.

Mr Berlusconi's death brings an end to one of the most colourful and controversial political careers of recent times, with the scandal-hit prime minister famous for his notorious "bunga bunga" parties.

The sex parties, which involved prostitutes, caused a major scandal in Italy.

Italy is marking the death of ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi with a spectacle befitting the grand soap opera of his life. The one-time cruise singer who led Italy with no prior political experience built a media empire and had a string of wives and girlfriends. The Archbishop of Milan will lead Berlusconi's state funeral in the city's grand cathedral on Wednesday. Italy is holding a day of national mourning. All Italian and European flags on public buildings have been lowered to half-mast.
