The author analyses Berlusconi´s political acitivity from year 1994 (after corruption scandal Tangentopoli) until 2013 with the particural accent on his political parties and coalitions – The Forza Italia Political Moviment (Forza Italia), House of Freedom (Casa della libertà) and People of Freedom (Popolo della libertà). The study is based mainly on relevant political and scientific Italian sources (G. Sartori, G. Pasquino, A. Amadori etc.) and  expresses a special interess about „new“ policy of S Berlusconi (Forza Italia with other parties in coalition – National Alliance – Alleanza nazionale of G.
