Being a great showmen, B. can easily show "real greatness" or whatever he need at a given moment: it's part of the character, always engaged in trying to play his "commedia". But even not denying his qualities, I'm afraid they aren't the ones of a statesman. Anyway, to get a picture of what his "reign" was, have a look at this video:

And now, as the Poet says,

"quivi il lasciammo, che più non ne narro"...

La Commedia è finita!
