A man holds the Italian national flag as he displays a sign outside the San Raffaele Hospital where Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is hospitalized, in Milan December 15, 2009. An Italian man who broke Berlusconi's nose and teeth by striking him with a souvenir model has apologised to the Italian prime minister for his "cowardly and rash act", the attacker's lawyers said. The sign reads, "Berlusconi you are great, a myth. You will remain in our history, Thanks for what you do for our country. The stars are with you.
