Former premier and ex-European
central banker Mario Draghi paid homage on Monday to the
"extraordinary initiative and innovation" of Silvio Berlusconi,
who died earlier today aged 86.
"I express the most heartfelt condolences for the death of
Silvio Berlusconi, an absolute protagonist of Italian public
life in the last fifty years," said Draghi.
"As an entrepreneur he revolutionized the world of communication
and sports, with extraordinary initiative and innovation. As a
leader he transformed politics and was loved by millions of
Italians for his humanity and charisma. Deepest condolences go
to to his family, the employees of his group, and the Forza
Italia community," he continued.
