Milan's main airport has been officially renamed 'Milan Malpensa International Airport named after Silvio Berlusconi', honouring the late former prime minister and media mogul.

Why now: Berlusconi's controversial legacy, especially his friendship with Putin, makes the airport renaming politically divisive in Italy.
