It was learned that Berlusconi, who bounced back from sex scandals and corruption allegations, was confirmed dead at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan.
Recall that the former Prime Minister was treated for a lung infection linked to a previously undisclosed case of chronic leukaemia in April.
After being elected to Italy's upper chamber, the Senate, he led the centre-right Forza Italia party, which formed a coalition with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. "An era is over... Farewell Silvio," Mr Crosetto wrote in a tweet, adding that he"loved" Berlusconi"very much". There has been no formal confirmation of the direct cause of death as of yet. He has had reoccurring health concerns after catching Covid in 2020.
