Disappearance of a yacht owner
Silvio Berlusconi, who died on June 12, 2023, was known to the general public as much for his political career, as President of the Italian Council on 4 occasions and for a total of 3339 days, as for his economic empire at the helm of Italian and European media and soccer clubs. Although he died in Milan at the age of 86, his personal antics also made headlines, and like many billionaires, he had no shortage of yachts . Here are a few pictures.
Several sailboats at Perini Navi
Silvio Berlusconi has owned several yachts from the Tuscan shipyard Perini Navi . He first owned a 40.4-meter sailing yacht built in Viareggio in 1991. The yacht, christened Principessa Vai Via, was named after his daughter's nickname. He finally sold it in 2002, but acquired a new yacht from the Italian yard.
It was the Morning Glory, a 48-meter ketch , which he acquired from Australian tycoon Rupert Murdoch. She could accommodate 8 guests, with all the luxury of these units, marble and rare woods on all decks...
Engine for speed
Silvio Berlusconi wasn't content with luxury yachts . In addition to his villas in Sardinia , he also owned a Magnum 70, a 70-foot speedboat built in the USA, named Sweet Dragon. Recently, the Cavaliere's boat had been involved in a serious accident off the Italian island.
