Sapienza University expresses its deepest condolences on the death of David Sassoli, President of the European Parliament in office since 2019. 

After secondary school, David Sassoli, journalist and politician, enrolled at Sapienza University but did not complete his Political Science course to devote himself to his journalistic career, first at Il Tempo, Asca and Il Giorno and then at Rai. His civic commitment and dedication to the institutions of a united Europe leave a legacy of values fully shared by our community. 

On Friday, January 14, the Main Campus's flags will be flown at half-mast as a tribute to David Sassoli on the day of his state funeral.
