The creator of the World cup trophy has died today in his sleep at his home in Milan at 95 years of age.
FIFA desperately wanted to make a new trophy after Brazil became a permanent owner of the Jules Rimet prize in 1970, following their third success in the finals. From 7 different nations and after 53 proposals Silvio Gazzaniga's work was picked up.
He designed other international trophies as well.
