Silvio Berlusconi, former Italy President and football club AC Milan owner, has passed away at 86 years of age.

From his grand entrance by helicopter after buying AC Milan to empowering Monza up to Serie A for the first time in its history, Silvio Berlusconi dominated Italian football for decades just like he commanded the show in Italian politics.

Berlusconi, a former three-time Italian premier, died on Monday.

Berlusconi was hospitalized on Friday for the second time in months for treatment of chronic leukaemia. He also suffered over the years from heart ailments and prostate cancer.

Under his ownership, AC Milan won 29 trophies, including eight Serie A titles and five European Cups.
