YoungWillz 21,044 Posted May 19, 2016 Gillo Dorfles is really famous in Italy as an immortal zombie like painter Giorgio Michetti (b. 1912) and architect L. Caccia Dominioni (b. 1913). At least one of them will not see 2017, but I'm doubtful about their mortality... Former Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi (b. 1920) is not in good health and he may die this year, while Giorgio Napolitano, former communist dictator, is very well and will reach 110 (evil guys don't die, you know). Radical politician Marco Pannella (b. 1930) is finally dying of cancer and I think former Prime Minister Arnaldo Forlani (b. 1925) is not so healthy as well. If Ciampi makes it to 2017 he would be a good choice for a sure death. The other men I cited are not enough famous to have their deaths announced in UK. Marco Pannella is dead at 86: https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://www.repubblica.it/politica/2016/05/19/news/morto_marco_pannella-140143111/&prev=search Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
