Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi died on Monday at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan.
The billionaire businessman built Italy's largest media company before transforming the country's political landscape.
Berlusconi, leader of the Forza Italia political party, and the founder of the Mediaset empire was 86 years old.
He had been suffering from chronic leukemia "for some time" and had recently developed a lung infection.
The former AC Milan owner was hospitalized in Milan on April 5 with a lung infection stemming from the disease.
He previously also suffered from heart ailments, and prostate cancer and was hospitalized for COVID-19 in 2020.
While Berlusconi's party is part of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's right-wing coalition, he himself did not have a role in government.
