Italy's richest man and the owner of a global chocolate and
confectionery empire Michele Ferrero died yesterday aged 89, his company
said.
As well as the popular hazelnut chocolates Ferrero Rocher, which
bears his name, he also created Nutella spread, Kinder eggs and Tic Tac
sweets.
In the process, he turned his small chocolate factory in Italy's Piedmont region into a global brand with a presence in 53 countries.
The company's website carried a simple tribute to Mr Ferrero today:

Ferrero senior was a man of few words who shunned publicity.
He had a reputation as a forceful leader, but also as one who maintained generous working conditions and gave back to his community.
Until a few years ago, Ferrero commuted to work by helicopter every day from his Monte Carlo villa to taste and help design new products.
The billionaire died at home in Monaco after months of illness, the group said in a statement.
