Farewell to the last true liberal Most High – The Time

B__WEB

->

He died in Rome Renato Altissimo. Leading member of the Italian Liberal Party, was several times minister and deputy. He was admitted to the Gemelli hospital in Rome and ill for some time.

Born in Portogruaro almost by accident, Most High was 75 years old. He was Minister of Health with the government Cossiga, with Spadolini and Fanfani and Minister of Industry and Commerce with Craxi. Degree in political science in Turin, was vice president of Confindustria.

The family of Almighty had in Moncalieri, where she had moved just coming from Veneto, a factory lights and lighters no longer in existence that was part of the armature Fiat.

His was the story of a liberal. Not a Liberal any. But a liberal in the history of this country. Indeed, it was the president of the Union of Industrial Turin in the seventies, in the years when the city of the size did not move leaf that was not expressly intended by the Agnelli family. And with the Agnelli Most High had a close relationship not only for business but also for the combination of friendships. Although Renato was more tied to that Umberto Gianni. And just escorted the younger brother of the Agnelli when he decided his descent into the field in the political arena, albeit with a party that was not his.

But it was, Most High , also the protagonist of the clash that saw another scion come forward, that Carlo De Benedetti who first came into the good graces of the Advocate becoming giovanisimo top managers of Fiat, only to be ousted by the suspicion that he was trying to climb the company to remove it to Agnelli.

But it was in the eighties that Almighty took flight in politics. Several times minister, before the Health and Industry. It was perhaps in the latter post he left more sign that was seen at the department of Via Veneto for almost three years, between 83 and 86. These are the years in which Italy is going through a tumultuous economic growth. It is Italy’s Milan to drink, the yuppies, the tv Berlusconi prevailing. Is Italy Craxi which Almighty was also a close friend. Craxi, Forlani, less Andretti, the leaders of the so-called Caf, the axis of iron that held power in the second half of the eighties and it was sealed with the “pact of camper” concluded only in 1989 in a parking lot of Ansaldo Milan, where he held the Congress of the Italian Socialist Party. The pact (between Craxi, Andreotti and Forlani, of course) would have predicted a full path that would begin with the fall of the government De Mita and the formation of an executive transition led Democrat, culminating in another government Craxi, when you deliver the chair of the Quirinal where he planned the investiture or Andreotti or Forlani. Eugenio Scalfari in July 1989 it will set “an agreement regime” .But are also the years in which politics rediscovers the night, life nottuna without inhibitions, the discos. Gianni De Michelis that dance in the middle of the dance floor. Most High was the leader of the baby turtle.
