I don't think he can survive that long after reading today's news, but if he miraculously does, we have a clear candidate for the 2024 Immortals list.

https://www.repubblica.it/politica/2023/04/05/diretta/salute_silvio_berlusconi_ricoverato_ospedale-395052125/ this is the live link with updates on his conditions. some highlights to report: - Looks like it could be pneumonia. - Antonio Tajani, minister of foreign affairs and exponent of Forza Italia, said that Berlusconi is able to speak. - Marta Fascina, his young girlfriend, and Licia Ronzulli, senator of Forza Italia very very close to Berlusconi (very close in every sense) went to him in the hospital. - He will spend the night in the hospital and hospitalization for a few days is expected. - Today there will be no medical bulletin, it is scheduled for tomorrow. It doesn't seem to be his usual hospitalization but something more serious, anyway the feeling is that he can still make it this time too.

hmm, I don't know. Forza Italia parliamentary sources say is in "stationary but stable" conditions.

I’m a big fan of Marlene Kuntz and I had the pleasure of interviewing Luca a few years ago, he was a person of rare kindness.
