Silvio Berlusconi continues to gain approval and expressions of affection.

The volume objectively explores Forza Italia’s political program of 1994, highlighting its relevance and relevance in the contemporary context: in this sense, the sales success attests to an appreciation for the ideas of the former prime minister who was first and foremost pleased with Marina Berlusconipresident of Mondadori and eldest daughter of the Cavaliere.
“As president of the Mondadori Group I am always extremely satisfied and proud to see – and it happens very often – our books climb the rankings of best-selling titles. But as a daughter, the success of Paolo Del Debbio’s book on the ‘power of Silvio Berlusconi’s ideas’ – which jumped to first place in the week of its release – gives me a very particular joy, a special joy“, wrote the top manager in a note in which she expressed her satisfaction with the response obtained from the book which examines not only the figure of Berlusconi as a politician, but also delves into the values that motivated his entry into the field.
“In addition to congratulating the author, I would like to sincerely thank, together with those who contributed to this result, also all those who found it interesting to read ‘In the name of freedom’. Many have already done it, I consider it a sign of affection and esteem for my father, and a further confirmation of how much the ideas to which he dedicated his political commitment continue to have great strength and to remain highly relevant“, concluded Marina Berlusconi, who also signed the preface of the volume dedicated to the former prime minister and founder of Forza Italia.
In those pages Marina herself shared with Del Debbio and the readers one of the most moving memories: a text written by Berlusconi two days before his death, while he was in his hospital room. Four hand-filled pages in which the Knight traces a sort of political testament full of humanity and intensity. “I then read and reread those four pages dozens of times, I turned them over in my hands for hours, for days, and every time I can’t breathe.
They are a very private memory, but I think it is right that they should not remain just a private memory“, Marina Berlusconi herself confided in the successful book dedicated to her father.
