[QUOTE]Paolo Villaggio has died in Rome at age 84. The announcement came from his daughter Elisabetta, who posted on Facebook a younger picture of his father, writing "Goodbye dad, now you're free to fly again". Elisabetta, along with her brother Pierfrancesco, were standing beside him in the clinic where he was being recovered for complications from diabetes, which he "treated irregularly and poorly".[/QUOTE]
You guys may know him from this clip which has been posted here from time to time

Can't find any proper English sources, so I had to translate this one from Italian:

So sad to see him go... He truly was Italian comedy's greatest. Riposa in pace.

Maybe a bit out of touch due to the circumstances, but here's another clip of his I have subtitled if you'd like to watch it:
