Berlusconi’s room, Marina’s letter, Fascina’s role: the first FI conference

The return to the party headquarters, but without the Cav. Antonio Tajani and Licia Ronzulli promise unity, the partner remains without a role

Antonio Tajani: “He looks down on us”. To tell the truth, he watches us – and laughs – from all the walls here on the third floor of this ocher building in Piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina, headquarters of Forza Italia. A museum, mausoleum, Silvio Berlusconi’s Vittoriale. Impressive. Photos everywhere (with different trichological phases) of the great past. The one with the warm tones of the 1994 campaign, but also the one with the damask background of Palazzo Chigi. And then of course: the slogans and posters. There is the tree of liberty and the promise of a 23% flat tax. He goes up to the press conference – here he is laughing in the midst of Bush and Putin – but in the end he asks to see his office.
