When Berlusconi died, the current Italian government declared a national day of mourning broadcasted on national television. Never went to prison, convicted only 1 time for tax fraud, a lot of his quotes and videos are great source of memes that make the younger generations laugh (owning the Milan football helped him to be liked by younger people).
Please American people don't do the same mistakes as we did. It's like watching a remake (or a parody) of the same horror movie.
Maybe it's possible. Berlusconi was brought down by his habit of young women eventually hitting one under 18.
