ROME (Reuters) -Italy's former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was discharged from Milan's San Raffaele hospital on Friday after an overnight stay for a check up, a source from his Forza Italia party said.

Berlusconi, 84, has been in and out of hospital since contracting coronavirus last September. He said at the time that it was "the most dangerous challenge" of his life.
