Silvio Berlusconi
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Silvio Berlusconi (born September 29, 1936 in Milan) is an Italian politician, leader of a right-wing coalition named Casa delle Libertà (House of Freedoms) and leader of the right-wing party Forza Italia.
He has been Head of the Italian Government in 1994 and a second time since 2001 until 2006, when he was defeated at the political elections by Romano Prodi, leader of the left-wing coalition named L'unione (The Union). This coalition won the elections only for few votes: 24,000 at the Camera dei Deputati, one of the two Chambers of the Italian Parliament, and only 4 senators more than Berlusconi in the Senate.
Silvio Berlusconi is also the owner of many Italian enterprises, for instance the television network Mediaset.
