Farewell to Luigi Berlinguer. The former Minister of Education died in the night between 1 and 2 November, at the age of 91 in the La Scotte hospital in Siena, where he had been hospitalized since the summer. Sassari and cousin of the historic leader of the Italian Communist Party, Enrico Berlinguer, he was a deputy and senator of the DS and PDS and an MEP of the Democratic Party in the 2009-2014 legislature. As a minister, his name is linked to the school reforms carried out from 1996 to 2000, first with Romano Prodi and then with the executive led by D'Alema, with whom he reorganized the education cycles and sanctioned school equality.
