He stopped for about an hour, to general amazement. At that hour, in fact, the restaurant was full, there were still customers from lunch, and Berlusconi’s presence has certainly not gone unnoticed. Among the customers there were also some students from the San Raffaele University, who took photos with him. Instead, I told my collaborators not to bother him in this sense”.
