The news agency ANSA reported Saturday that the 80-year-old, three-time former premier returned to Milan for treatment at the Madonnina clinic, where he received three stitches.
His doctor, Alberto Zangrillo, told ANSA that the injury was not serious.

Berlusconi left office in 2011 and is currently barred from running for office due to a tax fraud conviction. However, he remains, active in politics as the leader of his conservative movement.
