Speaking with AS, Paolo looked back on his brother's decision to buy the Rossonero some 40 years ago.
He said, “The club was going through a difficult period. President Giuseppe Farina was practically on the verge of leaving in 1986, and Silvio thought the time had come to give back to the city what AC Milan had given him.
"Our candidacy was a natural one. We had this plan very clear in mind. There was the option of collaborating with an Italian oil company, but it didn't work out.”
Paolo also stated: "Another thing that obsessed Silvio was that we had to win, no matter what, wherever we played. Attack, dominate, zero speculation. No calculations, no mathematical formulas... Before, for example, logic dictated that we should win at home and draw away. This guaranteed the championship, but for us it wasn't enough. It was outdated.
"Another idea was to show the world that Italy wasn't a catenaccio built on defense and counterattacks. He wanted to break patterns and clichés.
"Our Milan never stopped attacking. Remember our matches against Real Madrid in the European Cup? There was no difference between the San Siro and the Bernabéu.
"In Madrid they applauded us too, because they were used to beautiful football."
Asked about Silvio's dream transfer targets, Paolo added: "Maybe (Diego) Maradona and (Francesco) Totti. He admired them. We never tried to sign them because Silvio believed in and defended the club symbols. He knew they were the symbols of Naples and Rome, respectively.
"But he said they were untouchable."
