Usage Note
Berlusconismo refers to the political style, ideology, and cultural phenomenon associated with Silvio Berlusconi, Italian prime minister across multiple terms. Like fascismo or populismo, the -ismo suffix creates an abstract political noun. It is used both by critics and commentators to describe media-friendly, personalist politics. Always masculine in Italian: il berlusconismo.
