Rome, 30 May. (time.news) – “Political and institutional commitment marked Giorgio Ruffolo’s entire life, an extraordinary example of lucid and pragmatic reformism and rigour, in each of the activities he carried out. This is why we wanted to remember him today together with Valdo Spini, Alessandro Roncaglia, Costanza Pera, Giuseppe De Rita, Giuliano Amato and Corrado Augias in the Chamber”. This was stated by the vice president of the Chamber, Anna Ascani, in a greeting to the conference ‘A protagonist of Italian reformism – In memory of Giorgio Ruffolo’.

“Ruffolo – he added – has been defined by some as a dreamer; I find instead that he was above all a great forerunner. For example, his insistence on the need for an environmentalist conversion of minds, the involvement of activists and the reformist ‘pact’ between science, industry and environmentalism anticipated by thirty years discussions that are more topical today than ever”.
