Introvigne's friendship with right-wing media tycoon Berlusconi blossoms



Massimo Introvigne has always claimed to be a detached scholar. However, in recent years, an increasing number of sources have claimed that Introvigne is not so neutral after all, being closely involved with the political Right. 

Is this so? 

Here is what an article recently published in the prestigious Milan daily Corriere della Sera (January 19th, 1999) has to say about the matter.

Silvio Berlusconi is the well-known media tycoon who virtually created the Italian Right some years ago, around the party called "Forza Italia", a name invented by using the favourite slogan of fans of the national soccer team. Arcore is where the picturesque villa of the multi-millionaire is located. 

Berlusconi, a Foundation "alternative to the Left" is born 

The name will be "Nova Res Publica" and its task will be to expand the political action of Forza Italia, drawing from the "historical and cultural heritage of Italian free-market thinking and of moderate ideas of Christian inspiration". 

Founded thanks to the determined intention of Silvio Berlusconi, this new foundation - which will be presented next Monday at Arcore by the leader of Forza Italia - brings together scholars from economical, legal and social/political disciplines, and intends to provide "an alternative to Left-wing thinking." The Foundation will promote meetings, debates and seminars involving political leaders, businessmen and academic scholars. The technical scientific committee includes Vittorio Mathieu, Piero Melograni, Giulio Tremonti, Giuliano Urbani, Luigi Compagna, Massimo Introvigne, Franco Romani.
