Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi smiled from a car as he left Milan's San Raffaele hospital on Friday, returning home after six weeks of treatment for a lung infection linked to chronic leukaemia.
Berlusconi, 86, was rushed to hospital on April 5 and remained in intensive care for more than 10 days, causing speculation that his life might be in danger and drawing a stream of family and friends to his bedside.
