, who died at the age of 86 according to media reports on Monday, will go down in history as one of Italy’s most influential leaders.

In 1965, he married the first of his two wives, Carla Elvira Dall’Oglio, with whom he had two children. They divorced in 1985. She never spoke badly about him and he never spoke about her. Their children, Marina and Pier Silvio, are at the core of his business enterprise. As his fortunes grew, he diversified his investments, buying the AC Milan soccer team, the Medusa film company, and Mondadori publishing. In 1990, he married his second wife, Veronica Lario, whom he became enamored with after seeing her perform topless at a theatrical stage play. They had three children, Barbara, Eleanora, and Luigi, none of whom are as entrenched in his business dealings as the children from his first marriage.
