Silvio Berlusconi himself underlined his constant presence and dedication until the last weeks of his life, who said he was moved by the affection shown to him by Marta. “Marta has outdone herself, she was next to me with unmatched care and dedication”, he had told Corriere della Sera a few days earlier, regarding the hospitalization at San Raffaele. “Are my treasure”, Marta would have repeated in the funeral home of Arcore, that intimate space reserved for family members and a few close friends.
