The accident
On the evening of 10 June, around 21:30, Pier Silvio Berlusconi was driving home from his office in Cologno Monzese along the provincial road between Villasanta and Arcore. His Aston Martin was struck head-on by a vehicle that had lost control at high speed, crossed into the opposite lane, and crashed into the CEO's car. The impact destroyed the front end of Berlusconi's vehicle and triggered all the airbags.
Aftermath and medical checks
Despite the force of the crash, Berlusconi suffered only minor injuries: a few cuts and bruises, described by sources as nothing worrying. The airbags and seatbelt are credited with preventing serious harm. The other driver was also treated for minor injuries and assessed with a yellow code. Medical personnel examined Berlusconi at the scene, and MFE confirmed he would not change his schedule.
Company event and tribute
The following evening, Berlusconi appeared at the Mediaset campus in Cologno Monzese for the event "Mediaset siamo Noi". More than 1,500 employees gathered in a large temporary structure to mark the third anniversary of the death of Silvio Berlusconi, the company's founder and former Italian prime minister. The evening mixed music, memory, and corporate pride.
Berlusconi addresses the crowd
Presented by Gerry Scotti, the CEO was asked directly about his condition. He replied:
“Sto benissimo. Ieri ho avuto una disavventura. Lo dico onestamente: poteva essere una tragedia. Qualcuno ha trasformato una tragedia in un miracolo. E quando si esce consci di avere vissuto dei miracoli si è più forti di prima.”
A family legacy
The commemoration went beyond a memorial. Berlusconi stressed the values of dedication, passion, and people, and delivered an emotional tribute to his father:
“Noi siamo te e tu sei tutti noi. Grazie Presidente. Ti amo papà.”
