Biography
[edit]A middle school teacher, he was one of the leading figures in Pisa local politics during the 1970s.
A labor unionist and former member of the ACLI and the Christian Democracy (Italy), he aligned himself with the Italian Communist Party in 1971 and, following an agreement reached between the PCI (whose leader in the City Council was then Massimo D'Alema), the PSI, and the left wing of the Christian Democrats, he became mayor of Pisa in July 1971, a position he held until May 1976.
He was elected to the Senate of the Republic (Italy) in 1976[3]and 1979[4] on the PCI ticket, joining the Independent Left (Italy) caucus on both occasions. His term in Parliament ended in July 1983.
He died on Christmas Eve 2019 at the age of 92.
