Marina Berlusconi meeting Draghi is already an event in itself and a sign that the Cavaliere's heirs are looking beyond Meloni

It is impossible to catalogue the meeting on Wednesday in Milan between the president of Fininvest, Marina Berlusconi, and the former Prime Minister and former President of the ECB, Mario Draghi, fresh from the presentation of his voluminous but very concrete Report on European competitiveness, as a matter of routine. The meeting is news in itself, especially because the Berlusconi family has been careful not to hide it. The meeting is an unforeseen event, not a given and not banal. But it would be absurd for that meeting to be able to imagine metapolitical scenarios that are not for today. The signal that Marina is sending is very clear, as in the interview she gave at the beginning of the summer and it means one very specific thing: that, while financing a government party, as Forza Italy, the Berlusconis have no intention of locking themselves in the narrow confines of the centre-right. But also that for them the point of reference of international importance on the political and economic scene is more SuperMario than the Prime Minister Melons, who not by chance looks with suspicion and distrust at all the moves of Marina and Piersilvio Berlusconi. Sometimes the heirs are more farsighted than the fathers.
