The event is scheduled for 16 and 17 September. It is there, in two days in Milan, which will be revealed the liberal-popular project that Silvio Berlusconi has entrusted to Stefano Parisi. An event – confirmed yesterday by the former to Fastweb – which will be held on the same weekend of the gathering of the League of Matteo Salvini in Pontida. Whether or not a coincidence, will be two appointments that will provide an important contribution to understanding what will be the center of the future.

Parisi yesterday was in Rome. But not at the site of the fi but in his home Piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina where he met members of the party from some loyalists of former premier as Sestino Giacomoni and Gregory Fontana. Probable that the choice of making the Rome residence also his political office, is only temporary and due to organizational reasons. At the same time, however, is also a way to mark the distance. Moreover, it is certainly no coincidence that the former CEO of Fastweb has received from Berlusconi a mandate to be invested, however, from a position of coordinator of Forza Italy as the Knight had originally proposed.

The goal of Parisi, and of course Berlusconi, is to go beyond Fi. At least the current one. A decision that continues to fuel the discontent among the blue interior. “Organize well as its convention. I, however, I worry of terrorism, migration, the economic and social crisis, the banks, “he commented sarcastically Renato Brunetta, the parent company of Fi Room. The climate is tense. A big part of the party (by the Romans in Toti through Matteoli and Gasparri) have not sent down what they call yet another ‘top investiture. ” A resistance that is also based on the discontent of the allies, and in particular of Salvini and Meloni. Yesterday the leader of FDI in an interview with The time has warned that any support for a Renzi bis would preclude the possibility of “any alliance.”

A hypothesis that on paper at the moment does not exist but that the recent statements of Parisi have not excluded. The goal, says former candidate for mayor of Milan, is “to create an alternative government ‘Renzi. Alternative to Berlusconi can only be achieved by strengthening the moderates of the center. And here comes Fi.

As Parisi wants to look like an “external” called to give his ‘contribution’, it is clear that it can not ignore Fi. That’s why yesterday established a first series of meetings starting next week. The first will be with Alfredo Messina, recently named by Berlusconi to replace the role of Treasurer Maria Rosaria Rossi, to check the status of the blue party accounts. Then comes the turn of the meetings with regional coordinators. The reorganization of the territory is an essential piece, and all obvious, given the internal wars in different regions. It will also be a way to test the response of Parisi party, to see if the Roman resistances have also made inroads in the suburbs. Berlusconi in each case is determined to keep going. What interests the former prime minister in the coming months is to verify the effect on the electorate entering the field of Parisi. Il Cavaliere, contrary to his colonels, is convinced that the Milan model is winning and therefore the starting point is – as he wrote in the note on Tuesday – the regrouping of the moderates.
