Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has paid tribute to Silvio Berlusconi.
Former AC Milan owner Berlusconi passed away on Monday at the age of 86.
De Laurentiis said: "He was a forerunner of the 80s which were a sort of second economic boom for Italy which came from a dark period from early 70s.
"He managed to make Italians rediscover the sense of positivity, until at a certain point he had to take the field, as he liked to say, to defend what he created.
"I saw Berlusconi as an entrepreneur with a capital E. Everything he did before, guided by his intuition, for me has priority over what came after."
