Overview

• Queues formed from 7 a.m. as the camera ardente opened at 9 at the Armani/Teatro in via Bergognone, with access until 6 p.m. today and Sunday and a priority line for employees.
• Among the first to pay respects were Mayor Beppe Sala, John Elkann, Federbasket president Gianni Petrucci and Olimpia Milano coach Ettore Messina, with Leo Dell’Orco and family members present.
• Milan has declared civic mourning for Monday, when the funeral will be held in private, and Pantelleria will observe a day of mourning with a public commemoration.
• The testament will be opened after the funeral, with governance guided by a multi-class share structure set in 2016 and updated in 2023 and by the Armani Foundation’s mandate to maintain balance and independence.
• Mayor Sala said he favors Armani’s inscription at the Famedio memorial, a decision that a commission will evaluate in the coming weeks.
