A photo gallery chronicles the political commitment of the former president of Più Europa, who died today in Rome.

First elected to Parliament in 1976 with the Italian Liberal Party, spanning the First and Second Republics, he served four times as a minister in the Amato, Ciampi and first Berlusconi governments during the 1990s, and was a key figure in the famous ‘blitz’ campaigns against waste in hospitals. The political world bids him farewell

Messages of condolence from politicians and tributes to the historic Radical Party leader, who died today in Rome aged 78. The Prime Minister in Vercelli: “We are making arrangements for a state funeral.”

"One of the most clear-sighted, courageous and free-spirited figures in the political history of our country and the free world has left us." A tribute to the Radical leader of her last party

The Radical Party leader died today in Rome at the age of 78. She began her political career with the campaign for the legalisation of abortion

The former prime minister is fine-tuning his next moves and preparing for the Leopolda conference. Meanwhile, he is returning to the national Democratic Party gathering, which he has not attended since 2018. “To reach 42 per cent for the centre-left, we need Italia Viva.” The role of the mayor of Genoa, whilst the other reformist and liberal faction attempts to organise itself

The majority closes ranks and rejects the opposition’s sub-amendment. The Prime Minister’s anger: “I reinstated them myself.”

The governors seek refuge from the internal conflict: Romeo in Monza, Fedriga in Trieste. Meanwhile, the dominance of Lady Verdin, the de facto secretary, and that of Silvia Sardone is becoming established

The Council of Ministers has approved yet another extension (the fifteenth) to the excise duty cut: “But it’s not enough,” admits the Prime Minister. Legislation to speed up hydrocarbon extraction in Italy. Confindustria’s concerns over the lengthy delays (and the prospect of an early general election).

The bill has been passed by the Chamber of Deputies with 218 votes in favour and 6 against; the only opposition came from Luigi Marattin’s LibDem and Roberto Vannacci’s Futurists. The PD and FdI are celebrating (the Lega, to a lesser extent). A Film Agency will be established. Discussions have taken place regarding the composition of the committees responsible for allocating public funds and the need for ‘certainty’ for productions.
