"With Silvio Berlusconi we lose an important figure in Italian history. A brilliant entrepreneur, an extraordinarily engaging politician, a great man of communication.
In football, a true champion". Thus on Twitter, the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, remembering Silvio Berlusconi, passed away today at the age of 86.
“I had the pleasure of meeting him in the late 70s when, as the creator of a city within a city, he began to experiment in the world of telecommunications, creating within a few years the most innovative and important private television hub in the country. – adds the number one of the blue club -. He produced three news programs that were the first access to the world of politics that would then see him as 'Premier' three times, he was also the creator of a winning and spectacular football for a long time, making Italian football excel in Europe at club level".
“With Medusa he created an all-Italian major in cinema.
Life saw him as the absolute and inimitable protagonist of 4 decades lived at the center of an Italy and a Europe in continuous evolution. I always remember him as affable, ironic and very determined.
We have often discussed many topics and we have also spoken recently. My condolences to his entire large family”, concludes De Laurentiis.
