An anti-mafia study center named after Virginio Rognoni is born

Offer a significant contribution to understanding and combating mafia phenomena through training, research, documentation and regulatory evolution. It is one of the objectives of the new “Virginio Rognoni Anti-Mafia Legislation Study Center” presented yesterday morning in Milan in the presence of the president of the anti-mafia commission of the Municipality of Milan Rosario Pantaleo, which will officially open in September. The project was born from the collaboration between the Santa Caterina da Siena university college of Pavia and the Banca del Monte di Lombardia Foundation who decided to name the new center in memory of Virginio Rognoni, an emblematic figure of the fight against organized crime and “father” of Rognoni-La Torre law of 1982. “The center will be an opportunity for reflection, but also for the memory of an important and high institutional personality like that of Professor Virginio Rognoni – said the president of the Mario Cera Foundation – who brought prestige to Pavia and to his University, both from the ethical point of view and from the point of view of responsibility in the service of the State”. The Study Centre, which will be located in the Santa Caterina college, aims to become a center of excellence for the study and analysis of anti-mafia legislation. “My father, born a few weeks after the assassination of Giacomo Matteotti – underlined Maria Stella Rognoni -, has always considered the study of law, history and other social sciences fundamental to deal responsibly and effectively with every aspect of political life and civil”.
