Mourning Italians share their thoughts on former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who died at the age of 86 on June 12.

The footage features interviews with people who gathered outside his home in Arcore, Province of Monza, to pay homage to the famous entrepreneur and controversial politician.

"He deserves the presence of so many people who have come here for him". (00.03 - 00.07)

"We are from Cologno Monzese. My mum wanted to pay tribute to him since he has kept her company for 40 years with his TV stations. She felt paying homage was a nice thing to do". (00.07 - 0.24)

"He was a good person, we can't say otherwise. We went to Mediaset a few times" (0.26 - 00.31)

"He was a point of reference for people of my mum's age".
(00.32 - 00.39)

"We will have an indelible memory of him and of his presence in the town because it is obvious that he has done a lot for everyone and it is obvious that he has been a great person. I hope that on this mourning day, he will be remembered as a person rather than a businessman or a politician. He really needs to be remembered as a beautiful person, one of us"
