I personally think he's a well-meaning but hopelessly misguided man. Thoughts?
Mixed, but I tilt FF for liberating us from Berlusconi (probably for good!), and more generally for being a honest and good-willing man who views his country's interests above politicking and personal gains - which is extremely rare in modern Italian politics. His policies remain tragically misguided.
Basically this. He's an FF but his policies are HP.
All of this. I will be forever grateful for that he did succeed Berlusconi for one hopes the final time.
