It was the president of the Club, Simone Bassi, who read the motivation: “Lorenzo Tazzari was born in Voltana on September 24, 1957. He passed away on July 14, 2023, at only 65 years old, leaving an unfillable void in the Ravenna port area of which he was the voice. A long and prestigious journalistic career, at Resto del Carlino, first in Pesaro then in Forlì and finally in Ravenna after having written for the Gazzetta di Modena, Panorama, l’Espresso, Il Mondo and il Messaggero.
A profound connoisseur of his city, passionate about local economic and political issues, his greatest interest is in the Port of Ravenna and its operators.
In February 1995 he helped to create the Giornale del Porto. We will never forget the Great Master of Ravenna port journalism who whizzes by on his bicycle through the city streets”.
This was then followed by speeches by Daniele Rossi, president of the Port System Authority, Andrea Corsini, regional councilor who returned a day early from his mission to the Transport Logistic fair in Shanghai to be present, Eugenio Fusignani, deputy mayor, Giorgio Guberti, president of the Chamber of Commerce , who in various ways remembered their friend Lorenzo with anecdotes and respect for the relationships maintained in informing on political, economic and above all port issues.
The event was also attended by Maria Pia Parisi, President of the Court, representatives of the Port Authority, terminal operators, maritime agents, freight forwarders, port company, technical nautical services and many friends.
Lorenzo loved his city and was one of the founders of this newspaper in paper and web versions, through which he was able to delve deeper into port issues. It was a beautiful evening, and we remember it with unchanged affection and esteem.
