Never had a license to move his wife always accompanied him on board an old Fiat 500 Red which was then donated to the Turin Museum. He was the first President who broke with the protocols to show sincere outrage at how the Italian political class was unable to cope with natural disasters and how corruption and mafias were gangrenous pieces of the State. Was at the forefront to bring authentic emotion and participation to those affected by painful events. His speeches hard rough but honest conquered the Italians. As the smile with which he accompanied l’ World conquest in Italy 1982. Its simple communication and his spontaneous act miss them a lot. Pertini human figure and unique moral.
