Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted February 24, 2023 I think that leaves just Pietro Longo, Fabrizio Cicchitto and ol' Silvio B as the only (alleged) Propaganda Due members with an English-language Wikipedia page? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm... general Pietro Musumeci was apparently alive in 2021. Could have died off radar, but if still living will turn 103 in a few months. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,951 Posted February 26, 2023 A couple of Italian possibilities: Bruno Contrada, prominent intelligence and police officer who was famously arrested in 1992 for protecting mafia. Was "gravely ill and dying" in 2007! Of course his health improved when sent out of jail. Recently cleared of all accuses, TV news said he has been "on life support at home for a while". This could be another scam to get money, but the man will be 92 soon. Vittorio Feltri , Italian right wing journalist noted for his controversial remarks and political uncorrectness. Diagnosed with breast cancer (yep) in 2021, seems to be much thinner than before nowadays and rumours of lung cancer have been floating for a while. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prussianblue 1,038 Posted February 27, 2023 I doubt at just 37 Elly Schlein faces death any time soon, but her surprise leadership win may well speed up the complete electoral death of the Democratic Party: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/surprise-result-italys-left-picks-elly-schlein-rebuild-party-2023-02-27/ A half-American Jew, born in Switzerland, in a lesbian relationship. Focus on LGBT and environmental policies. Only rejoined the party last year, having previously been a member for only two years almost a decade ago, and a member of two other parties in the interim. None of this sounds like a recipe for success in an Italy that has gone quite firmly right-wing, populist and traditionalist of late, and with a party already riven with splits and factions.

Not just a politician, he was an incumbent senator and he died in the offices of the senate in Rome. Quite shocking, probably a suicide.

Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted March 30, 2023 Alfio Cantarella, drummer for 60s Italian beatpop act Equipe 84, dead at 841. Very popular with those online radio stations and Spotify playlist types who love "famous English song but sung in a foreign language" covers.

prussianblue 1,038 Posted May 18, 2023 Thought it worth mentioning Helmut Berger in here as well as the D-A-CH thread. Studied in Perugia and remained in Italy for much of his life, was Luchino Visconti's partner for 12 years, and built his career on Italian productions and co-productions, including winning a David di Donatello for Ludwig.

Sideik 236 Posted July 16, 2023 A couple of years ago I watched this documentary about former secretary of Italian commie party Enrico Berlinguer and I was surprised to see so many living nonagenarians among the cast. With the premature death of Arnoldo Forlani and Luigi Bettazzi I want to share the list with you since only a few survived: Enrico Berlinguer (1922 - 1984) PCI Giorgio Napolitano (1925) PCI immortal Bianca Berlinguer (1953) daughter and prominent journalist Luigi Bettazzi (1923 - 2023) Jovanotti (1966) singer Arnaldo Forlani (1926 - 2023) DC Alberto Franceschini (1947) terrorist, founder of Brigate rosse Richard Newton Gardner (1927 - 2019) Mikhail Gorbachev (1931 - 2022) Pietro Ingrao (1915 - 2015) PCI Emanuele Macaluso (1924 - 2021) PCI Eugenio Scalfari (1924 - 2022) journaliat Sergio Segre (1926) PCI and partisan Claudio Signorile (1937) PSI Aldo Tortorella (1926) PCI and partisan Walter Veltroni (1955) director and leftist politician Uncredited Giuliano Ferrara (1952) journalist, obese, had a heart attack in January last year, recently lost his brother 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
