Shocked by the sudden death of his wife Irma. to whom he was very close, he passed away at the age of 90. Guido Bodrato, one of the most lucid minds of the left DC of the twentieth century, former deputy secretary of the Crusader Shield at the time of Zaccagnini and several times minister. A great passion for politics, a mild man and progressive Catholic with strong democratic convictions, some time ago he expressed his concern for the current political moment on Twitter: "I would like to avoid the authoritarian ebb presented as governance and as a democracy of the future" .
“One could not agree with him on his points of view – writes on la Republic Stefano Folli, the most authoritative of Italian political commentators – but it was impossible not to recognize his intellectual honesty and the ancient spirit with which he lived politics as a service to the community and to the citizen”.
With Guido Bodrato one of the best politicians of the twentieth century leaves, not by chance highly esteemed by friends and opponents.
