A best-selling book and a Netflix series vindicate Berlusconi's political legacy, says Paolo Del Debbio. The former prime minister of Italy died on June 12 at the age of 86.

Del DebBio: It is impossible to imagine today's Italy without his presence and contribution in every sense. The book's prologue is written by his daughter Marina, who writes: “Like all men, you will leave this world. But the ideals for which you have fought will never disappear.” It is evident that the political space he represented represented his private interests, but transcended his private, but collective interests, he says. The Young Berlusconi (Piemme, 2024) is a book that vindicates his legacy and a series on Netflix that reconstructs in a surgical and fast-paced way, through three chapters, his arrival to power, says DelDebbio, who is also a former minister of the interior and prime minister.
