Former Premier Silvio #Berlusconi was honored Wednesday with a state funeral in Milan’s Duomo cathedral and a day of national mourning, as his legacy — positive or negative — was being hotly debated among Italians. Most Italians identify Berlusconi, a media mogul, soccer entrepreneur and three-time former premier, as the most influential figure in #Italy over recent decades. But they remain sharply divided on whether his influence was for the better or worse. Berlusconi’s political career was often overshadowed by conflicts of interest. For a deeper perspective on his life and career, FRANCE 24 is joined by Daniele Albertazzi, Professor of Politics and Co-Director of the Centre for Britain and Europe at the University of Surrey.
