He disappeared in Bologna Luigi Montuschi, emeritus professor of labor law at the AlmaMater (he had been full professor of the chair from 1970 to 2014). Montuschi belonged to the first generation of students of a great labor lawyer such as Federico Mancini, together with Giorgio Ghezzi, Umberto Romagnoli, Franco Carinci: a school of knowledge that – with Tiziano Treu on Milan and Gino Giugni, in Bari – consolidated the discipline of labor law in the second half of the last century.
The Bolognese legal chain was inspired by two great masters of civil procedure: Enrico Redenti and Tito Carnacini. Montuschi leaves his cultural and scientific heritage to one of his dearest and best students, prof. Patricia Tullini, professor in Bologna, currently a member of the INPS board of directors.
Montuschi had also been Marco Biagi's teacher, the jurist assassinated on 19 March 2002 by the BR and also trained at the school of Mancini. Over the years that have separated us from that tragedy, Montuschi has been asked to remember Biagi on the occasion of the initiatives commemorating the anniversary. During a ceremony organized by the newspaper '' Il Resto del Carlino '' he outlined Marco's profile on a scientific and human level and concluded his speech with touching words: '' Dear Marco, your old Master does not abandon you ''.
Statute of workers' rights. His scientific activity is very important and can be found in numerous publications (some written with Patrizia Tullini) dedicated to the themes of the environment, health and safety, the right to health and, in particular, to work and corporate social responsibility. The writer had taken the labor law exam with Montuschi who had just become an assistant and - like all beginners - very strict. I remember him nailing me on the rules of military service and drafting. Luckily for me Federico Mancini came to my rescue, allowing me to repeat the exam at the next session after a few weeks. I then graduated in labor law under the guidance of Umberto Romagnoli.
A few years later we consolidated our knowledge by train. He often happened to meet us on the Bologna-Florence stretch: I continued on to Rome, he changed at S. Maria Novella to reach Pisa where he then held the chair. I have always considered myself an external member of the Bolognese school, seconded first to the union, then to the social security institutions and finally to Parliament. I owe to Montuschi, Patrizia Tullini and Sandro Mainardi (another pupil of the school) the task that was assigned to me to teach social security law in Law first in the branch of Ravenna and then in Bologna.
The killing of Marco Biagi – my very dear friend and esteemed pupil – had changed our relationship of long acquaintance into friendship and collaboration. We often met to exchange opinions and sometimes we met on the street as his studio was close to my home. In truth, the isolation caused by the pandemic had made relationships difficult. I hadn't heard from him for a long time. As you get older it happens more and more often to remember someone who has left us. It is also a warning for each of us. How to tell us: summer wallpaper.
