Rome, 12 June 2023 - "Silvio Berlusconi was an entrepreneur who left a deep and lasting mark on Italian history. The visionary tenacity with which he succeeded in establishing his own television and multimedia group has deservedly made him a leading player in Italian life. He made innovation his hallmark, giving voice to profound changes in the customs and passions of Italians. With his involvement in politics, in 1994 he upset the previous balances by interpreting the country's desire for change. Confindustria expresses its deepest condolences to his family, to all those working in the family business and to the vast community of Italians for whom he continued to be a point of reference. With his leadership skills, charisma and enthusiasm he leaves a legacy that will continue to mark the future of the country'. This is how Carlo Bonomi, President of Confindustria, comments on the passing of Silvio Berlusconi on behalf of the Association.
