In many of the tweets, fans thank Ferero for “the most amazing tastes in the world” and for bringing them “happiness.”

Ferrero dreamt up the chocolate-hazelnut Nutella spread, Ferrero Rocher pralines, Kinder eggs and Tic Tac sweets, turning a provincial chocolate factory into what is widely seen as Italy’s most valuable privately-owned company.
A user who goes by the name of @KailaniSarah, tweeted: “Thanks for bringing us happiness #RIPMicheleFerrero”

Although his company's products garnered world-wide success and fame, Ferrero was a man of few words who shunned publicity, turning a local business from the Piedmont region into a global giant. He had a reputation as a forceful leader, but also as one who maintained generous working conditions and gave back to his community.
