Forza Italia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The party remains strong in the northern regions, such as Lombardy and Veneto, and in the South, where Sicily is a stronghold. |
 | | The preamble to the party's statute says that "it is a liberal party although not an elistist one, indeed a popular liberal-democratic party; it is a catholic party although not a confessional one; it is a secular party, although not an intolerant and secularist one; it is a national party, although not a centralist one". |
 | | It is heavily dependent on Berlusconi's image, the party anthem is sung in karaoke fashion at congresses, there is nominally no internal opposition, and TV advertisement is extensive, especially on Berlusconi's own TV networks; Forza Italia and Berlusconi deny this is a relevant conflict of interest. |
