Do we really know everything?In truth, behind the glorious and successful story of one of the richest men in Italy, of a powerful character, of our compatriot perhaps best known in the world, of a politician loved and hated like never before (with the exception of Benito Mussolini), there is an inexhaustible theory of black holes, controversial issues, questions asked a thousand times but often left unanswered. Where did his first millions come from? What relationships did you establish with the men of Cosa Nostra? Why did he 'take the field'? How was Forza Italia born? How did he bring down the Prodi government in 2008? How many ad personam laws did Parliament pass when you were Prime Minister? How did he come out (almost) unscathed from dozens of trials? How did Milan sell? Were those at Arcore really 'elegant dinners'? Many questions, too many answers, but also many silences and countless lies.Many dozens of books have been written about Berlusconi. Yet this was missing. It tells an Italian story. Thus was the title of the illustrated brochure which celebrated his life and which was distri published in millions of copies to all Italian families before the 2001 elections. His adventure - human, entrepreneurial, political - is truly an Italian story. Silvio is a character who has also entered the history of our costume and has modified and forged it in his image and likeness.
