Will Italy Dance Again To Berlusconi's Beat?

摘要

On a Monday morning just before Christmas, Silvio Berlusconi walked into an elegant salon inside his villa near Milan to complete preparations for a major shift in his political strategy. Beneath a grand oil painting of the Italian aristocrat who once owned this villa in Arcore, Berlusconi advisers huddled around a table discussing social media, according to senior members of his campaign team. Projecting laptop data onto a large screen, the team talked the 81-year-old TV mogul and former Italian prime minister through likes, followers, and potential lines of attack as they put the finishing touches on a three-month project to transform his political operation into a digital-savvy venture aimed at young people.
