Unauthorised Berlusconi film pulls no punches

ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s late mother knew early on that her boy would be destined to do great things but she was wrong when she predicted that he would never go around with women.

Rosa Berlusconi, who died in 2008, is one of the many protagonists of a new documentary on Berlusconi “Silvio Forever”, an unauthorised biography that will certainly not bring smiles to the prime minister or his supporters.

“He worked his whole life. He gave well-being to everyone,” Rosa Berlusconi says at the start of the 80-minute film.
