Milan's main airport, Malpensa, has been officially renamed in honour of the late former prime minister and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi. The move went ahead despite opposition from the city council and other local authorities. Critics had objected in part because Berlusconi, a longtime friend of Vladimir Putin, maintained close ties with the Russian leader, making the tribute controversial in Italy and abroad.

Why now: The airport renaming is contested because Berlusconi's friendship with Putin remains politically sensitive in Italy.
