When Berlusconi announced his intention to run at the 1994 Italian general election in January 1994, he expected the paper to give his campaign full support.

With sales going down drammatically following Berlusconi's victory, Montanelli was forced to close the paper after less than one year. He would later rejoin Corriere della Sera as a columnist.
