Americo dead at 90.

He joined "Gruppi Universitari Fascisti" (GUF) in 1944, so yes, he was a young fascist. The number of partisans in Italy increased by a ten-fold factor from 24 to 25 April 1945, concomitantly with the decrease of fascists. Napolitano was never a partisan.

I said that.

Giorgio Napolitano (1925-2023) "È con viva e vibrante soddisfazione che vi comunico il mio decesso..." "DEEEEEEADDDD" (Every noob on his thread days before his death)  Age at death: 98 Known health issues: Aortic dissection in 2018, hospitalised in 2021, hospitalised in critical condition and underwent surgery in 2022, hospitalised for months in 2023, lingered two days after being taken off life support. Cause of death: Don't know, it was so sudden. Alignment: The chameleon of Italian politics, young fascist during the war, hardline communist who applauded the repression in Hungary in 1956, first commie to go in the US (under the King of Immortals Jimmy Carter), minister of the interior, then president. And a strong president, who actually took choices! A nemesis for Silvio Berlusconi, the cat and the mouse, for a decade. The only president to be often considered stronger and more influential than the sitting PM and the first to be reelected for a second term. Like Silvio, a giant of Italian politics for good or bad.

Congrats, @Perhaps! New round to be started.

He is in irreversible coma according to official sources.

Matteo Messina Denaro dead. Completely overshadowed as he probably deserves. EDIT: it's Repubblica but I think it is premature.

Giovanni Lodetti dead at 81.

Khaleda the Faker back to CCU. EDIT: it's the usual scam.

Thet Lwin dead at 82.

Yes. Georgia State Senator.

Faustao hospitalised again in delicate condition. 85-year old Brazilian crooner Agnaldo Rayol hospitalised with pneumonia.

Hospitalised.

Argentine comedian Antonio Gasalla hospitalised for the second time this year . Advanced dementia sufferer.

....dio

The temptation to swear in Italian is very high. That's fucking local newspaper "La voce del Trentino". Napolitano's death will be announced by the presidency, ANSA, Repubblica and Corriere, not a fucking local newspaper. Porco..

Ok, as a good behaviour norm don't update this thread unless he is fucking dead.

Ok, maybe not a scam after all.

Napolitano taken off life support , but still alive. I think he had been on life support for quite some time.

Fake news. Alive for now.

His wife has left the hospital. Probably a sign it is not imminent. He has likely been on life support for a while, and has been deteriorating constantly for the last few days. No doubt his time is up.

Not this time.
