Italian former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi delivers a speech during a rally organised by the People of Freedom party (PDL) against 'politicised magistrates' on May 11, 2013 in Brescia, after a four-year prison sentence and a three-year amnesty was confirmed against Berlusconi convicted for tax fraud. A loudmouth in elections earlier this year, Silvio Berlusconi has been understated since then, as he seeks a statesman-like image marked by his surprisingly muted reaction to a court ruling that upheld his conviction for tax fraud.
