The government on Tuesday approved the
issuing of a pstage stamp commemorating late three-time ex
premier and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi who died last June
aged 86 having dominated Italian public life in a controversial
career for decades.
"The postage stamp dedicated to Premier Silvio Berlusconi, which
will be issued one year after his death, is the right
recognition of a great Italian who served and honoured the
Republic in all the roles he held: businessman, sportsman,
political leader and statesman," said the vice president of the
Senate and Forza Italia (FI) senator, Licia Ronzulli, and Forza
Italia deputy, Paolo Emilio Russo.
"We thank Premier Meloni and the entire cabinet for accepting
the proposal of the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy,
Adolfo Urso, and the delegate undersecretary Fausta Bergamotto2,
said the two members of FI, the party Berlusconi created in
1994 to launch his political career..
