Heirs to Silvio Berlusconi to liquidate late leader's massive art collection
The heirs of late Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi are liquidating his collection of 25,000 artworks, making way for a supermarket near Milan.
The five children of the late Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi have decided to liquidate his vast private art collection, which comprises roughly 25,000 paintings and sculptures. The artworks are currently stored in a 4,500-square-meter warehouse located near Berlusconi's former residence in Arcore, close to Milan.
The storage facility containing the collection is scheduled for demolition to make way for the construction of a new supermarket on the property. Berlusconi, a prominent media tycoon and long-serving political figure, passed away in 2023. The sale marks a significant step by his heirs in managing and restructuring the late politician's extensive personal estate.
