Competition, innovation, simplification, competition, imagination, creativity. And a fixed point: beyond the strategy of rancor, this side the politics of the dream. There are infinite ways to try to summarize in a few lines what Silvio Berlusconi represented for the history of Italy. But perhaps the most effective way is to choose a single interpretation within which to mix the colours. And perhaps the least talked about frame of reference coincides with the most underrated face of the Cav. modern: his having been a formidable barrier against extremism and therefore against populism.
