(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 14 - Ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi is in an excellent mood, almost fully recovered from his lung infection and working hard in his Milan hospital room, Premier Giorgia Meloni said after a more than hour-long visit to the San Raffaele on Sunday.
    Rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) leader Meloni and centre-right Forza Italia (FI) leader Berlusconi "talked about future scenarios, the next initiatives of the executive and the majority," a note from the premier's office at Palazzo Chigi reported on the Prime Minister's visit to her convalescing 86-year-old ally in hospital.
    "Berlusconi is in very good spirits, he is in rapid recovery, and despite his hospitalisation he is working incessantly on the main dossiers," Meloni commented.
    Meloni went to the San Raffalel where the three-time ex-premier and media magnate Berlusconi has been receiving treatment for a lung infection linked to a previously undisclosed chronic leukaemia since April 5.
    FI is the junior partner in Meloni's hard-right government, which also features the rightwing League party of Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini.
    Berlusconi spent another quiet night in Milan's San Raffaele Hospital, the hospital said Sunday.
    It said the date for Berlusconi's discharge was still not at the moment foreseeable.
    The 86-year-old media mogul last weekend sent a video message to FI's Milan convention.
    The billionaire turned politician on Friday issued a message ahead of local elections across Italy Sunday and Monday saying that people who don't vote aren't good Italians. (ANSA).
