Biography[]

City councilor of Mayor[]

He joined the Italian Communist Party in 1944 and is elected for the first time to the city council of Bologna in 1956.[1][3] In 1970, Zangheri is elected Mayor of Bologna and guided the city in the difficult Years of Lead: in those years, the city faced several fascist attacks, such as the Italicus Express bombing, the murder of activist Francesco Lorusso and the 1980 massacre in the Bologna station.[4][5]

Zangheri left his office when he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies at the 1983 general election, being re-elected four years later. From 1986 to 1990, Zangheri has been the group leader of the Italian Communist Party in the Chamber of Deputies.[1]

Later life and death[]

In 1991, Zangheri returned to teaching and has been Rector of the University of the Republic of San Marino.[1][6]

He lived in Imola until he died on 6 August 2015, at the age of 90.[7]
