Paolo Berlusconi holds back on the seat in the Senate, but the suggestion of another of the family in politics remains – Corriere.it

I imagine that Come on Italy and his management team, starting with Dr. Tajani, will find a name for that place that is an expression of Silvio’s memory, Paolo Berlusconi confided to the very few who managed to reach him by telephone this morning. For the Knight’s younger brother, of course, still the moment of grief. Not even forty-eight hours have passed since the funeral of the former Prime Minister, for the family and for the party there is an entire world to preserve and another to rebuild. The heritage, the will, the companies, the party, an interweaving that for decades had that single center of gravity, who passed away suddenly on Monday.

Two things are connected or could soon become one. The possible descent into the field of a Berlusconi in politics, almost exactly thirty years after the beginning of the Knight’s adventure; and that senatorial college of Monza, assigned with the single-member body, which was Berlusconi’s state in the very few months that have passed since the beginning of the legislature. For many, his brother Paolo could be an almost natural candidate. News devoid of any foundation, confides the outgoing editor of the Journal. Put like this, it seems a denial that does not allow for other rejoinder. Sure, then there are those words left hanging in the air, which don’t put an end to a story (and a candidacy for the Senate) that are all to be told. A name that is an expression of Silvio’s memory. The surname seems to already exist: Berlusconi.
