Overview

• The camera ardente at the Armani/Teatro in via Bergognone reopened at 9 a.m., with queues forming from 7 a.m. outside the venue.
• More than 6,000 people attended on the first day, and today brought another strong turnout including composer Ludovico Einaudi, Max Mara’s Luisa Lusuardi, actor Enrico Lo Verso, Lombardy president Attilio Fontana and politician Matteo Renzi.
• Fontana called Armani an excellence of Lombardy and said the Region will remember him with a formal tribute in the Regional Council.
• Local daily Libertà, cited by ANSA, reports a very private funeral of about twenty people is expected in Rivalta, likely at the Church of San Martino, with burial in the family chapel, though no official confirmation has been given.
• Police were expected to carry out an inspection in Rivalta today to define security measures aimed at safeguarding the town’s privacy during the arrangements.
