After their discussion, they traveled by helicopter to watch a Milan match. Berlusconi then made an unusual request, saying, “We need to urinate together, or Milan will lose!”
The singer complied with the bizarre pre-game ritual, describing it as a “memorable moment.” Jovanotti added that Berlusconi also gave him valuable advice, encouraging him to read extensively. “He told me to read, read books, read everything. I’ve followed that advice ever since,” Jovanotti concluded.
This anecdote offers a glimpse into the eccentric personality of Silvio Berlusconi and his superstitious approach to supporting his beloved AC Milan.
