Adnkronos Rome, November 15 (Adnkronos) – "It is with deep sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Senator Cesare Cursi, a high-profile institutional figure and a man of rare human and professional balance." This is according to a statement from the family of Cesare Cursi, a senator for the Alleanza Nazionale and undersecretary in the Berlusconi governments. He was 82 years old and leaves behind two children and three grandchildren.
Born in Rome in 1942, a law graduate and Supreme Court lawyer, Cesare Cursi has dedicated his entire life to serving the institutions and the country. His parliamentary experience, gained between the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic, saw him as a dedicated and rigorous leader in some of the most sensitive challenges in Italian politics. He held government positions of great responsibility: Undersecretary of Transport and Undersecretary of Health, roles in which he combined technical expertise, political vision, and a profound sense of national responsibility. During his parliamentary career, he also served as Chairman of the Industry, Trade, and Tourism Committee, distinguishing himself for his professionalism and ability to engage with all political and social forces.
Those fortunate enough to know him know how his expertise was combined with equally rare personal qualities: sobriety, discretion, a sense of duty, and a sincere concern for others. His life testifies to the value of politics conducted with rigor, respect, and a spirit of service—values more precious today than ever. He leaves us the legacy of a civic commitment lived quietly, but with extraordinary determination and consistency. His memory will live on in the affections of his family and in those who appreciated his seriousness, intelligence, and profound humanity.
