TL;DR Summary

Italy is holding a day of national mourning for former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who died in Milan this week. Berlusconi's state funeral is being held in Milan's grand cathedral, and the country is asking who will succeed him in his vast business empire and political party, Forza Italia. His oldest child, Marina, is considered the most likely to take over the family's holding company, Fininvest, but it remains to be seen whether she will continue to invest in her father's political creation. The future of Forza Italia is uncertain without its charismatic creator, and a government collapse triggered by the disintegration of one of the coalition partners does not seem unlikely.
