Berlusconi recently returned home from a holiday in Sardinia, which saw a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases in August as tourists from all over the country descended on the Mediterranean island. However, the country recorded a steady increase in new cases in August, with experts blaming gatherings of people associated with holidays and nightlife. Politicians across the political spectrum sent support messages to Berlusconi, a four-times prime minister. "I want to wish Silvio Berlusconi a speedy recovery on behalf of our members. He will fight this new battle forcefully," centre-left Democratic Party leader Nicola Zingaretti, who also recovered from COVID-19, wrote on Twitter.
