The mayor Lorenzo Radice, the councilor with delegation to the Palio Guido Bragato and the entire council express their condolences for the death of Roberto Clerici, awarded the civic merit in 2022 with the following motivation: “for having actively collaborated with numerous companies in Legnano, covering organizational and managerial roles, always making the experience, skills and knowledge acquired in various work opportunities available in every area”.
Mayor Lorenzo Radice declares «I have met many people in these years as mayor and I can say that Roberto Clerici was one of the most passionate lovers of the Legnano tradition that I had the fortune and pleasure of knowing. Creative in everything he imagined and created, Clerici has always demonstrated a love for the city’s history and culture, as well as a truly unique aesthetic taste.
With him the City of Legnano loses a personality who, in various fields, from associations to the Palio, to sport, has always acted with great ability and passion, qualities of which he has amply demonstrated even on the last occasion in which he collaborated with the municipal administration within the Committee for the Centenary of Legnano Città.
Clerici was one of the most proactive members of the Committee and he was responsible for the idea of holding the exhibition dedicated to Gianfranco Ferrè which we will host in the Sala degli Stemmi starting in September. But I also want to remember his requests to return to taking our Palio and the name of Legnano outside the borders, as we did last February with the episode at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. We will have the opportunity to remember him publicly in the next Centenary events. Deepest condolences to his family.”
