Great Italians of the Past:
Norberto Bobbio
40
Norberto Bobbio dies in Turin on January 9, 2004. A man of immense cultural depth, Bobbio kept throughout his career, even in the wake of his convictions, a deep political freedom; and, even more precious, he kept his humanity, that he will always consider his true beacon of life.
Shortly before his death, he declared in an interview: "What matters in life are human relations. It is the only truly important thing. How many people you loved, how many did love you, how many have been close to you. The works, even if many, in the end do not count anything. The acts of love count".
