“Dr. Alberto Zangrillo has told me that he has rested well, is in intensive care and is reacting positively to treatment and this gives us hope,” said Tajani in a program on the Rai 3 channel, after speaking with the director of the hospital’s intensive care unit and personal doctor of the leader of Forza Italia.

Berlusconi, from 86 yearswas admitted last Wednesday and this Thursday the first medical report was issued in which it was confirmed that he suffers “long-standing chronic myelomonocytic leukemia” that he is being treated with light chemotherapy because he has worsened in recent months and is hospitalized “to treat a lung infection.”

During yesterday’s session, Berlusconi called the leaders of his party in the morning and his allies in the government in the afternoon: the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, and the Vice President and Infrastructure Minister, Matteo Salvini.

Some of his children and his brother Paolo returned to the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, as well as the president of Mediaset, Fedele Confalonieri, and Marcello Dell’Utri, who was his right-hand man for years.

There is concern but we are optimistic“, said Fedele Confalonieri, while his brother pointed out: “We are more relieved, there is an improvement. We trust”. “It is a lion”said Pier Silvio, the second son of Silvio Berlusconi, leaving the San Raffaele.

Berlusconi had already been hospitalized in San Raffaele last week for what were described as “medical checks”, but his conditions were not described as worrying. Over the years, Berlusconi has been the subject of several hospitalizations: one of the most recent, in January 2022, was necessary for a urinary infection.
