London
(ANI):
Musician
Eric
Clapton"s
former
partner
Lory
Del
Santo
has
dedicated
a
poem
to
Italian
Prime
Minister
Silvio
Berlusconi.
Del
Santo,
a
former
model,
is
now
a
television
presenter
who
has
appeared
on
Berlusconi's
Mediaset
TV
channels.
She
parted
ways
with
Clapton
after
their
four-year-old
son,
Conor,
fell
to
his
death
from
the
window
of
a
53rd
floor
apartment
in
New
York
in
a
freak
accident
in
1991.
She
debuted
her
poem,
titled
'Tu'
('You')
on
Italian
radio
station,
Radio
2.
"You
who
think,
who
imagine,
you,
who
can
transform
dreams
into
reality,
expressing
the
wish
to
be,
to
resist," the
Telegraph
quoted
the
poem
as
saying.
"You
who
have
the
desire
to
give,
see
progress
in
a
world
of
confines.
You,
who
love,
you,
who
simply
exist,"
the
poem
said.
Berlusconi
has
been
dealing
with
violent
student
protests
against
university
reforms,
a
crisis
over
uncollected
rubbish
in
Naples,
infighting
within
his
party,
anger
over
the
state
of
Pompeii
and
a
crucial
parliamentary
confidence
vote
on
Dec
14,
as
well
as
allegations
about
his
private
life.
He
no
longer
has
a
guaranteed
majority
in
parliament,
after
the
defection
from
his
coalition
of
former
ally
Gianfranco
Fini.
Berlusconi
was
also
forced
to
laugh
off
leaked
US
State
Department
cables,
which
described
him
as
"feckless,
vain
and
ineffective
as
a
modern
European
leader".
