Silvio Berlusconi returns to Villa San Martino, in Arcore.
After 45 days of hospitalization, the Forza Italia leader was discharged from the San Raffaele hospital in Milan , where he had been since 5 April to treat a lung infection that arose in the context of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
On April 16, the former premier had been transferred from intensive care to an ordinary hospitalization ward.
«Dear friends, today, after 45 long days, I finally returned home and my return has warmed the hearts of our large family. An incredible emotion, a great relief. It was an agonizing and difficult time but after dark I won again », he wrote in a message.
The latest medical bulletin dates back to May 3, when professors Alberto Zangrillo and Fabio Ciceri had spoken of a "stable and comforting clinical picture" .
And in fact in the last few days the visits of the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the ministers Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani had been a sign of improvement. " He is in an excellent mood, is recovering rapidly , and despite the hospitalization he works tirelessly on the main dossiers," said the premier.
«I found him in good shape, operational», was the report instead of the Foreign Minister: «He is full of ideas, he writes, he works. We talked for a long time about foreign policy, about what the government does. He never stopped working, he's a lion. We had no doubts from this point of view. I find him in an absolutely positive convalescence ».
With Salvini, however, he had focused on the project of the bridge over the Strait, that stable connection between Sicily and Calabria "which has always been a project of the Knight".
