Emma Bonino, who died on Friday aged 78, will be given a state funeral. The Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, has stated that “we are making arrangements for a state funeral” for the Radical Party leader and for the former Liberal Party leader Raffaele Costa, who also died today.
Emma Bonino’s lying-in-state will be held in the Protomoteca hall of the Campidoglio in Rome on Sunday 13 September from 12:00 to 19:00 and on Monday 14 September from 10:00 to 19:00. The secular state funeral, with an official commemoration, will take place on Tuesday 15 September at 12.30 pm, also in the Protomoteca of the Campidoglio. Furthermore, on Monday from 7 pm onwards, in Piazza del Campidoglio, +Europa has organised a public vigil to allow citizens, politicians and members of civil society to publicly remember Emma Bonino.
