Berlusconi admitted to San Raffaele for checks – Corriere.it

Silvio Berlusconi hospitalized since yesterday, Monday 27 March, at the hospital San Raffaele of Milan. The 86-year-old Forza Italia leader allegedly suffered from pain on Monday, but independently entered the Lombard hospital and should be already discharged tomorrow morning.

Berlusconi was last hospitalized in San Raffaele just over a year ago, in January 2022, at the turn of the election of the President of the Republic. On that occasion, a urinary tract infection had caused his hospitalization. An infection that – on that occasion – had been heavy, so much so that it was necessary to apply massive therapies.

The founder of Forza Italia – who yesterday remembered and celebrated his first victory in the elections, which took place 29 years ago – has been hospitalized several other times over the last few years.

In September 2020, Berlusconi tested positive for the Sars-CoV-2 virus, and developed symptoms of Covid-19, including bilateral pneumonia.

In June 2016 he had been operated on at San Raffaele with a open heart surgery for aortic valve replacement, and in 2019 it had been operated for intestinal obstruction.
