Despite the scandals and a tax fraud conviction, Italy's most colourful ex-PM could be head of state.

Could he really, despite everything, become president? The sex parties, the tax fraud conviction, the list of scandals as long as your arm?

"Berlusconi is a leader as an entrepreneur, a leader in the football sector as the owner of AC Milan, one of the most important politicians in the history of my country, who worked hard in favour of transatlantic relations," he explains. From calling Barack Obama "young, handsome and tanned" to proclaiming "it's better to like pretty women than be gay", his populist rhetoric over the decades has amused and horrified in equal measure.

"Putting him forward risks being a big own goal by the right wing, overlooking the potential backlash. Italy needs something different than a step back into the past."But age and political longevity are barely an impediment in a country where leaders from politics to business rarely exude youthful dynamism.
