Silvio Berlusconi, bruised, leaves hospital and vows to get back to work
Bruised and bandaged, Italy's prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, was discharged from hospital on Thursday, four days after a lone protester smashed a souvenir statuette into his face.
The 73-year-old media mogul had a large bandage stuck to the left side of his face and over his nose, which was broken in the attack in central Milan on Sunday, as he mingled in a crowd of supporters following a political rally.
The assault has widened a deep rift between Italy's feuding political parties and further divided an already sharply polarized society.
