What is happening
Family members, former partner Marta Fascina, Marina, Pier Silvio, Eleonora and Barbara Berlusconi, and longtime associates Adriano Galliani and Fedele Confalonieri are expected to attend the gathering. Forza Italia has also organized events in Brussels and Naples to remember its founder. The party said the events would be a multivoiced account rather than a commemoration, bringing together different generations.
Why is it on the Radar?
The gatherings highlight the continuing public and party remembrance of Berlusconi, who founded Forza Italia and is described by the party as having changed the language and balance of Italian politics in 1994.
