“[Following the Fastweb scandal over the 2006 vote] Repealing the law would be a disgrace, a real act of self-destruction, and a way of making Italy less powerful on the global stage, both politically and economically.”

“The Office of the President of the Republic will make the necessary contacts with Bergamo City Council and Mayor Franco Tentorio to arrange the date and details of the official visit. I am delighted that President Napolitano has decided to visit the city. As soon as I put forward the proposal, he was immediately enthusiastic and told me that the visit had to take place. I think it is right that Bergamo should be honoured as the 'City of a Thousand'.”

“I say it again and again, on every occasion: Italians around the world are a great asset and a source of wealth for the new Italy; the economic benefits for our country have been calculated at 191 trillion lire. However, above all, the 4 million Italian citizens living abroad and the 60 million people of Italian origin represent Italy's pride and honour, because they have always cherished a love for their homeland and celebrated our culture, our language, our history and our traditions.”

“Today, therefore, I can say that Italians living abroad are an integral part of the Italian system, and they have demonstrated, by asserting this through the power of their actions, that they have rights that are in every way identical to those of Italians living in Italy.”

“Berlusconi had said that it made no sense for Italians living abroad to vote, because Italians living abroad do not pay taxes. Should we take away the right to vote from tax evaders, since they don't pay tax? Are we going to take away the right to vote from the homeless and the poor?”

“Italians living abroad do not pay taxes, but they generate economic activity worth 200 trillion lire for Italy. 60 million people of Italian origin eat Italian products. I have set up an association of Italian entrepreneurs around the world, with a database of 15,000 members. The board is made up of 32 people who generate a turnover of eight billion euros. They are an economic empire.If someone were to write the history of Italy, they would first have to read the 124 volumes of the P2 Commission's report. They cover the entire decline of Italy.”

“I don't want to attack Andreotti, for heaven's sake, but how can we forget that in 1978 he handed the state over to the P2 by appointing [Giulio] Grassini, Santovito and [Walter] Pelosi as heads of the secret services? All of them were members of the P2 lodge. These are the same three men who later investigated the Moro kidnapping.”

“Andreotti was convicted, not acquitted, of Mafia-related offences that were time-barred. And despite all this, he is being nominated for the position of President of the Senate? A politician who has been suspected, investigated and convicted should not even be a candidate.”

“[About Silvio Berlusconi] He never acted like a member of the Pidu [Italian Communist Party]. In all the volumes of the commission, he was never involved in anything.”

“We condemned the racial laws. Full stop. If we want to talk about it, we also have to talk about how many Jews were saved by Italians.”

“[About the Allied troops after the liberation] I saw Italian girls going with black men, and it was shameful, despicable, because it wasn't an act of love. There were these girls who were hungry, and these men who were taking advantage of them.”

“So many defeats, so much stress, were wiped away in an instant by the applause of the Senators, who stood to pay tribute to the 'Other Italy'. At that historic moment, my thoughts immediately turned to the millions of my compatriots living abroad, my extended family, the goal of my entire political career. And then my thoughts went to my late, beloved son Marzio, who was the guiding light of my life. I know that I have done my duty to the end and that I have fought my battle out of love for the Other Italy, for my Homeland: I succeeded in winning, following the lead of Marzio, who guided me from Heaven in my most difficult moments, and thanks to the Italians abroad, who defended me with strength and enthusiasm.”
