A mourning shocks the world of Tuscan politics. On the morning of Saturday 25 May the news of the death of Massimiliano Pescini49 years old, former mayor of San Casciano, in the province of Florence, and current regional councilor of the Democratic Party, taken from his life by an illness.
Political commitment
Pescini had been mayor for two terms before leaving the leadership of the Chianti town in 2019 to Roberto Ciappi.
The battles
In his role as regional councilor he stood out for his continued attention and care for the territory that had chosen him as mayor. He fought together with the workers of the former Sacci during their attempt to defend their jobs.
Under track
Pescini did not like the limelight of the news and the light of the spotlight. He has always preferred hidden work to public outings. His heart stopped beating on the night between Friday 24th and Saturday 25th May.
The condolence
The President of the Region, Eugenio Giani, as explained in an official note «in this moment of profound pain remembers Massimiliano Pescini as a friend and companion in many political battles, as a figure of balance, dialogue, competence and determination in achieving the objectives set, but also so profoundly human as to try to involve everyone in the interest of the community.”
