22 October 1916

The death of Herbert Kilpin

On 22 October 1916, with the Great War raging across Europe, Herbert Kilpin died in Milan at just 46 years of age, his monumental contribution to Italian football all but forgotten by a nation consumed by conflict. The founding father was laid to rest in the Protestant section of the Cimitero Maggiore, his grave unmarked and, for decades, lost to memory. Only in the 1990s did admirers rediscover it, and in 1999 — the club's centenary year — Milan honoured its 'Lord' with a new tomb in the Cimitero Monumentale.
