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.
The memorial service will take place “early next week, not before”, announced Riccardo Magi, secretary of Più Europa, whilst speaking to reporters outside the Nostra Signora della Mercede nursing home, where the long-standing Radical Party leader passed away this morning.
