"I return to politics with despair and out of a sense of responsibility," he said.
But, he added, "I enter the race to win."
When he resigned in November 2011, Berlusconi said he did not intend to run for office when elections were held again.
But the 76-year-old's intention to return to frontline politics has been rumored in the months since.
In October, a Milan court sentenced Berlusconi to four years in prison for tax evasion.
Through the years, Berlusconi has been accused of embezzlement, fraud and bribery, but the tax evasion case marked the first time he had been convicted of an offense.
Berlusconi also faces trial on charges that he hired an underage prostitute and later tried to pull strings to get her out of jail when she was accused of theft.

意大利前总理西尔维奥•贝卢斯科尼周六称,他将再度竞选意大利总理,这标志着意大利最引人注目的政客又将重回公众视线。
这位亿万富翁刚在一年多前卸去总理职务,终结了他统治意大利政坛长达18年之久的历史。当时意大利正处于债务危机的最高峰。
自那以后,意大利一直由经济学家马里奥•蒙蒂领导的未经选举的技术专家治国论的政府管理。
意大利总统乔治•纳波利塔诺在与蒙蒂见面后,周六发表声明说,蒙蒂计划在通过一系列国家预算和稳定措施之后辞职。
