The death of Silvio Santos, 93, in the early hours of this Saturday, the 17th, has left Brazil in mourning. Recognized as the greatest presenter on Brazilian television, his departure has prompted an avalanche of tributes from fans, football teams and colleagues. Silvio, who died of bronchopneumonia resulting from an H1N1 infection, has been remembered in different ways by those who admired him.

Tributes to a football match

Fluminense and Corinthians, who faced each other this Saturday in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão, paid a series of tributes to Silvio Santos. The CBF treated the match as the “Clássico Silvio Santos”, recalling that, although a Fluminense fan, Silvio has always shown affection for Corinthians.

Born in Rio de Janeiro and a Fluminense fan, Silvio Santos has always shown admiration for Corinthians.

Before the match, the clubs had released the same statement on social media, calling Silvio “the biggest star on Brazilian TV.” The players entered the field with a banner in his honor and observed a minute of silence. Images of the presenter were shown on the stadium’s big screen and Maracanã fans applauded in his memory.

Tribute to the Florida mansion

The column Fábia Oliveira, of the portal Metrópoles, had exclusive access to photos and videos showing the entrance to Silvio Santos’s villa in Celebration, Florida, United States. The images, sent by the GringaCast team, reveal several bouquets of flowers left in front of the door. The villa has always been a tourist spot for Brazilians visiting the region.

Goodbye in the hospital

Fans gathered at the Albert Einstein Hospital, where Silvio Santos was admitted, to say their last goodbyes. Sebastião José dos Santos Filho, a 53-year-old announcer, told O Globo that he had been watching Silvio’s programs since he was a child and was present in front of the presenter’s house when his daughter Patrícia Abravanel was kidnapped in 2001. Sebastião, dressed in a suit, red shoes and a colorful tie, symbolizing the SBT studies, emphasized the importance of Silvio in his life.

Tribute from SBT employees

After Silvio’s death, SBT employees paid tribute at the station’s studios in São Paulo. Flowers were left in the presenter’s parking lot, marked with a star, near the studio where the Silvio Santos program was recorded, currently presented by Patrícia Abravanel. Despite being away from television since 2022, his place remained reserved, according to the Who.

Last farewell at the cemetery

Many fans also crowded in front of the Cemitério Israelita do Butantã, where Silvio Santos’ body will be buried, according to images recorded by gshow. SBT announced that the funeral will not be open to the public and that there will be no wake, as expressed by the presenter himself.
