After the state funeral and day of mourning for the late Italian former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, his family thanked him with a large advertisement for the condolences. “Thank you! We are deeply touched by the love and closeness you showed us at the passing of our father,” the media mogul’s five children wrote.
The family thanked them for participating in the state funeral in Milan, the many flowers in front of Berlusconi’s villa in Milan, as well as the thousands of condolences, letters and obituaries in all newspapers. “These words and gestures touched our hearts,” the children wrote.
Thousands at farewell Berlusconi
About 17,000 people said goodbye to Berlusconi at the state funeral in Milan on Wednesday. The day was declared a national day of mourning. Berlusconi died Monday at a clinic in Milan from the effects of chronic leukemia. Over the past 30 years, he had profoundly shaped Italian politics.
Berlusconi’s right-wing Forza Italia party, a junior partner in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s governing coalition, plans to elect a leader next week to take Forza Italia through to next year’s party congress. Some political observers doubt that the party has any prospects for the future without the charismatic figure of its founder.
