# Commemorations for Silvio Berlusconi’s 90th birthday > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/commemorations-for-silvio-berlusconis-90th-birthday > Updated: 2026-09-28T16:20:00.000Z. Sources: 52. Developments: 3. As the 90th birthday of Silvio Berlusconi arrives on September 29, tributes and reflections on his legacy continue to emerge. Forza Italia has organized an event in Naples, ‘La seconda giovinezza di Silvio Berlusconi’ (The Second Youth of Silvio Berlusconi), aimed at connecting his entrepreneurial and liberal legacy with younger generations. On this milestone, former Minister of Defense Cesare Previti paid tribute to the late leader, describing him as ‘the greatest.’ In a telephone interview, Previti highlighted Berlusconi’s impact on the human, entrepreneurial, and political spheres, noting his role in increasing Italy’s prestige. Reflecting on Berlusconi’s journey from his 1994 entry into Parliament to his tenure at Palazzo Chigi, Previti remarked that despite constant political attacks and legal challenges, Berlusconi remained steadfast. He added that the leader’s death in June 2023 left an ‘immense void’ in the political landscape. Reflections also continue to emphasize Berlusconi’s deep roots in Milan. Former Mayor Gabriele Albertini has highlighted his early life in the Isola district, noting his family lived in a building constructed by Peppino Vismara. These accounts frame Berlusconi as a symbol of the shift toward 1980s hedonism following the ‘Years of Lead.’ In sports, former AC Milan coach Fabio Capello previously described him as a ‘great president’ who revolutionized football. AC Milan has since issued a tribute acknowledging his 31-year presidency that transformed the club into a global powerhouse. Meanwhile, discussions persist regarding the evolution of his media empire, from the early days of Telemilano and Canale 5 to the current pan-European MFE-MediaForEurope group. In Sardinia, Berlusconi’s family and close associates, including his children and longtime collaborator Adriano Galliani, are gathering at Villa Certosa for a memorial mass and family lunch. This gathering follows reports that the estate has been sold to a Qatari royal family for approximately 350 million euros. ## Claims - Silvio Berlusconi would have turned 90 on September 29, 2026.
