People gather outside Silvio Berlusconi's villa in Arcore, northern Italy, to pay tribute after the former Prime Minister died this morning at the age of 86. Flowers and football scarves from AC Monza and AC Milan -- both teams owned in the past by the former media tycoon -- are seen outside the villa. "There won't be anyone else like him" says Patrizia Dati, one of those paying their respects. Another, Isidoro Di Castro, says "my opinions are completely different from his, but that doesn't mean anything". Berlusconi was a controversial figure who reshaped Italy's political and cultural landscape while fending off multiple legal and sex scandals. He had been suffering from a rare type of blood cancer prior to his death. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
