Overview

• The Armani/Teatro camera ardente reopened for a second day, with long, orderly lines after more than 6,000 people visited on Saturday.
• The viewing reflects Armani’s precise aesthetic: a closed coffin with white roses, hundreds of paper lanterns, Ludovico Einaudi’s music, an alabaster crucifix and a Carabinieri honor guard.
• Mourners ranged from citizens and company staff to figures such as John Elkann, Donatella Versace, Mayor Beppe Sala and director Gabriele Salvatores, while Leo Dell’Orco and nephew Andrea Camerana received condolences.
• The funeral will be held in private on Monday, group stores will close, and civic mourning has been announced in some places including Milan and Pantelleria; reports suggest Broni and Cigognola as likely venues for the final farewell, not yet confirmed.
• Mayor Sala proposed inscribing Armani in Milan’s Famedio pending family consent, as tributes emphasized his lasting influence on the city, Italian fashion and colleagues.
