journalist, fighter Great War, a silver medal for military valor, partisan, parliamentary member of the Constituent Assembly, Speaker of the House, but above all a politician able to innovate the figure and to reinterpret the role of head of state, which has earned the nickname "president most loved by Italians . Sandro Pertini , which next February 24 marks the twentieth anniversary of the death was all this but, above all, just from the Quirinal was a interpreter of the feelings, fears, needs, aspirations Italy at that time . Pertini remains a character rather than a personality , a familiar figure still engraved in the collective memory of the country, who loves him for his simplicity and for its being able to say that, from his bench presidential , things that many Italians thought.

Stella was born in San Giovanni in the province of Savona on September 25, 1986, to twenty-one years he earned a silver medal for military valor for fighting on 'Isonzo in the war of 15-18 . Immediately after the war he joined the Socialist Party and is distinguished for his opposition to fascism, as to be forced, because of its political orientation, to leave Italy after being sentenced to eight months in prison. From there he began his exile in France, where he continued commitment to fascist Italy in 1929 brought him back under a false name. He was captured, arrested and sentenced to prison first and then confined in the island of Ventotene.

with the same impetus, Pertini became involved in partisan which continued after the fall of the fascist regime in 1943 at the Battle of Porta San Paolo in Rome, while parallel Pietro Nenni began with the re-establishment of the Socialist Party . Captured by the SS and sentenced to death, managed to escape death by the intervention of the partisans of the Gap was freed.

From 1968 to 1976 he was named head of the Chamber, which launched him toward the Quirinale l'8 luglio 1978, eletto come settimo presidente della Repubblica con una maggioranza record di 832 voti su 995 .

Il suo settennato si pose forse nel periodo storico più difficile dell'Italia post bellica: il Paese ancora scosso dal sequestro e dall'omicidio di Aldo Moro, era attraversato dalle lotte operaie e studentesche e destabilizzato dalla minaccia del terrorismo e dalle bombe. La figura di Pertini, la sua fermezza, il rigore morale, contribuirono a tenere unito il Paese di fronte alle incursioni delle Br or frightening as the attacks Bologna massacre in 1980. That same year, echoed the call, "Hurry up" that a preliminary Pertini after visiting the areas of wasteful earthquake in Irpinia , which is a prelude to the television networks unified complaint about the slowness of rescue operations, inefficiency and inadequacy of the scheme that a thousand obstacles, organizational and logistics, labored much to get going.

Spontaneo e per questo apprezzato dai suoi concittadini, Pertini non si lasciava ingabbiare dal protocollo e non perdeva occasione per sfuggire al ferreo cerimoniale imposto al capo dello Stato. Scelse di non alloggiare al Quirinale e mantenne la residenza nel suo appartamento a Fontana di Trevi, dove continuò a vivere con la moglia Carla Voltolina, tra l'affetto degli abitanti e i commercianti del quartiere con i quali, non di rado, si fermava a chiacchierare.

Pronto al saluto, alla battuta, Pertini fu anche il presidente del Mondiali di calcio nel 1982 , quando l'Italia guidata da Enzo Bearzot tornò dalla Spagna con il titolo. Sull'aereo presidenziale, Pertini 'costrinse' un taciturno e intoverso friuliano come Dino Zoff a giocare in coppia con lui a scopone scientifico, contro il 'barone' Franco Causio e il ct della nazionale.

"Grazie allo slancio ideale, alla esemplare rettitudine, all'inconfondibile tratto di umana schiettezza e alla straordinaria capacità di comunicare, che lo caratterizzarono, Pertini managed to bring citizens to the institutions, making a model of civic engagement and morale for all Italians '. It is said that the President of the Republic George Napolitano , in a message on the occasion of event promoted today in Stella , the twentieth anniversary of the death of Sandro Pertini. a message, write the chief of State, "sincere sympathy and deep appreciation for the initiative in memory of a founding father of Italy's Democratic Republic, guardian of the principles and ideals' high. "To Napolitano," read the human story, political and institutional means to follow the President Pertini a long stretch in the history of Italy contemporary art of which he was passionate protagonist: the Great War to the crisis of the liberal state, the advent of Fascism and the Resistance to the birth of the republic.

Quotes Pertini:

"For me, freedom and justice social, which then are the goals of socialism, are an inseparable pair: there can be no true freedom without social justice, as there can be no true freedom without social justice. Here, if I were to offer the socialist construction of more radical reform social, but without the freedom, I reject it, I could not accept. [...] But freedom without social justice can also be an achievement in vain. It can be considered truly free a man who is hungry, who is in poverty, who do not have a job, who is humiliated because he knows how to keep their children and educate them? This is not a free man. [...]"

"Today the new strength in what way.'s Appeal to young people: to defend these positions that we have conquered, to defend the Republic and Democracy . That is, today it takes two qualities in my opinion, dear friends: honesty and courage. ... The honesty honesty honesty .... [...] So the appeal I do young people is this: to try to be honest, first of all, the policy must be done with clean hands. If there is any scandal. If anyone from 'scandal, and if there is any politician taking advantage of policy to do its dirty interests, should be sued! "
