Italy bids farewell to Berlusconi with state funeral
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi continued to divide his country even after death, as a decision by the government, which includes his former party, to honor him with a national day of mourning on Wednesday sparked controversy. The state funeral was attended by political leaders, foreign dignitaries, and his family at Milan's Cathedral. Outside the cathedral, hundreds of people gathered, some waving AC Milan flags, a European soccer team that the former premier owned.
