He then received visits by close aides.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He appeared to spend the night well,&#8221; Klun said. &#8220;He has a bit of a headache now.&#8221; The hospital is expected to issue a medical update at midday.<\/p>\n<p>Berlusconi was hit Sunday afternoon as he was signing autographs at the Milan rally, an attacked that shocked the country, already gripped by a tense political climate, and that raised questions about his security.<\/p>\n<p>The 73-year-old leader Berlusconi was rushed to the hospital with blood under his nose, on his mouth and under one eye. He suffered a fractured nose, two broken teeth and a lip injury, Klun said.<\/p>\n<p>A banner posted on the walls of the hospital wished the premier a swift recovery, saying &#8220;True Italians are always with you.&#8221; Next to it was an Italian flag.<\/p>\n<p>The attacker, a 42-year-old man with a history of psychological problems, has been arrested. After a night of questioning at a police barracks, the man was moved to the San Vittore prison in Milan, the ANSA news agency said. Police have identified him as Massimo Tartaglia.<\/p>\n<p>Berlusconi is entangled in a sex scandal and faces criminal trials in Milan after an immunity law was overturned earlier this year. He has faced protests, with tens of thousands marching in Rome on Dec. 5 to demand his resignation.<\/p>\n<p>Berlusconi himself has launched vehement attacks at the judiciary, saying the magistrates who put him on trial are politically motivated.<\/p>\n[flagallery gid=9 name=&#8221;Gallery&#8221;]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi spent a quiet night at the hospital after being hit in the face with a statuette hurled by a man at a rally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":41195,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80,63,17,101],"tags":[3254,3272,3252,3273,3275,3274,3255],"class_list":["post-2438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-europe","category-politics","tag-berlusconi","tag-italian-prime-minister-berlusconi","tag-italian-prime-minister-silvio-berlusconi","tag-italian-silvio-berlusconi","tag-prime-minister-berlusconi","tag-prime-minister-silvio-berlusconi","tag-silvio-berlusconi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
