Abstract
This book is not about Silvio Berlusconi. Its aim is not to analyze his objectives or his behavior, whether he governed well or badly, or whether he was guilty or innocent of the charges brought against him. These are all very important questions, but we need time before we can answer them with the necessary distance and objectivity and in a way that is not unduly influenced by contemporary debate. We also need the benefit of documents that are not currently available.
