Born on November 7, 1944, Ottaviano Del Turco was 79 years old. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 10 in the church of Collelongothe country where he was born.
“I express my most sincere condolences and those of the entire Regional Council to the family and loved ones for the passing of the former President of the Regional Council and former Minister Ottaviano Del Turco. We will carry with us the memory of how, first as a trade unionist, then at the top of the Socialist Party, then in Parliament and in Government, he traced an important path of reformist politics”, the comment of President of the Abruzzo Region, Marco Marsilio.
“Ottaviano Del Turco was a victim of bad justice, he was a victim of a mega injustice. A hug to his loved ones, may he rest in peace”. Matteo Renzi wrote this on X.
“On behalf of myself and Azione, I express my closeness to the family of Ottaviano Del Turco. He was a trade unionist attentive to workers’ rights, capable of dialogue and discussion without ever giving up his reformist inspiration”. So says Carlo Calenda, secretary of Azione.
“I am saddened by the passing of my friend Ottaviano Del Turco. Ottaviano was a man of the institutions, a political figure and a trade unionist of great calibre who was always close to his territory, Abruzzo, where he was also president of the Region. Del Turco was also part of the history of the Italian Socialist Party, serving as national secretary of the PSI between 1993 and 1994. He was a man of the trade union, becoming deputy secretary of the Cgil with Luciano Lama in 1983. Italy has lost a trade unionist and a political figure of great calibre who made his skills and high sense of responsibility available to the country. I therefore express my condolences and closeness to the family”. Thus the president of the Cnel Renato Brunetta.
