Silvio Berlusconi è entrato in politica per difendere le sue aziende.

Personally, I really like Berlusconi.

(About Matteo Renzi) He is a Berlusconi who didn't make it.

Berlusconi reminds me of Kim Il-sung. (July 13, 1994)

Berlusconi's politics as [...] Fede is information.

Churchill liberated us from the Nazis, Silvio Berlusconi is liberating us from communists.

Every morning I speak to my conscience and the dialogue calms me down. I look at the country, read the newspaper, and think: 'All is becoming a reality little by little, piece by piece'. To be truthful, I should have had the copyright to it. Justice, TV, public order. I wrote about this 30 years ago.... Berlusconi is an extraordinary man, a man of action. This is what Italy needs: not a man of words, but a man of action.

In Italy, comrades, in Italy there was but a Socialist able enough to lead the people through a revolutionary path, Benito Mussolini.

Mussolini was the greatest political leader of the century.

(About Silvio Berlusconi) He is very good at winning elections, but he cannot govern. He knows how to present himself, but he does not know how to administer.

(Su Matteo Renzi) È un Berlusconi che non ce l'ha fatta.

I find it difficult to consider Berlusconi a new man, given that he was one of the closest associates of those who governed Italy in the 1980s. (February 10, 1994)

We have a democratic form of leadership: leaders can change. Meanwhile, the Italian right wing has been under Berlusconi's imperishable command for sixteen years. However, I would like to point out that this is their anomaly, not ours. Because Berlusconi, who lost the elections twice, in 1996 and 2006, nevertheless remained at the head of the right wing, something that does not happen in any democratic country. And why has Berlusconi, despite losing two elections, remained at the head of the right for almost twenty years? Because he is its 'owner', not its leader. And so this is a completely different concept. Now, if you think that the center-left should also have an owner, you are mistaken. We are a free association.

(Regarding Silvio Berlusconi) Hallelujah! The orchestra plays in front of the Quirinale and throughout Italy we celebrate Liberation Day. The future is uncertain, but we are leaving behind the shame of being represented in the world by a man like.
