Considering how much Mr B cares about his own public image, I think he wouldn’t be happy at all if he discovered such results (however I bet he already knows..). The web search engine for the IT domain shows the following list of suggestions:

berlusconi-web

While these are the results shown in Google Images, certainly more bizarre:

berlusconi-images

Apart from the fact that it doesn’t seem to be searching for information about a political figure, some combinations appear paradoxically auto-ironic as nobel / mafia or morto (dead) / crocifisso (crucified) / beato (blessed) or again corna (horns, which in Italian stands for cheating on somebody) / d’addario / noemi , reflecting the different popular topics followed by the Italians on the web. Probably Mr B understimated Internet, too difficult to control, unless some illiberal sneaky law will get soon introduced.. For those who strangely are still wondering why there’s such bad thinking about him, googling a bit would definitely be a way to easily get a sort of an answer..
