Sabatino Santangelo, Naples's longtime deputy mayor and a key figure in the municipal government led by Rosa Russo Iervolino from 2006 to 2011, has passed away at the age of 89.
Santangelo, a distinguished jurist and a man of deep civic convictions, left an indelible mark on the city's administrative life, particularly for his role in the redevelopment of the former Italsider area of Bagnoli, where he served as president of the Bagnolifutura company.
Mayor Gaetano Manfredi remembered Santangelo as "an extraordinary jurist who believed in the value of education, a gentleman who gave so much to institutions." "Naples owes so much to Tino Santangelo, to his dedication to public affairs and his civic vision, which we still need today," added Manfredi, emphasizing the value of his commitment and his role model for future generations.
Santangelo, a respected and esteemed figure, embodied a model of public service grounded in ethics and responsibility. His passing leaves a significant void in the political and social life of Naples.
