His colleague, fashion icon, 70-year-old Donatella Versace, was dressed in a dark suit and left a bouquet of white flowers when she visited the Armani Theater on Saturday to honor his memory. The coffin with Armani's body is surrounded by candles.

The line of mourners stretched for a whole block about two hours after the theater opened, as some said they had to spend several hours to pay their respects.
Among them was Annamaria Longo Dornie from Lago Maggiore, north of Milan, who wore a dark blue Armani jacket for the occasion.
