Messina greets Luciano Ordile with emotion, a prominent figure of regional political life.
The life of Ordile
He was born in Gesso in 1937. His roots remained there always, between Gesso and Salice, in those hilly villages of Messina who loved throughout his life. Luciano Ordile, one of the Messina politicians who left his sign between the seventies and the beginning of the new millennium, went out at 88 years old, in those decades in which the city of the Strait counted ministers, undersecretaries, presidents or vice -presidents of the region, presidents of the Ars. ORDILE was vice -president of the Sicilian Regional Assembly exactly 30 years ago, he was a regional councilor for local authorities and then to tourism, he was president of the Vittorio Emanuele Theater Authority, as well as a deputy. His title of study was that of surveyor but his commitment and love for culture led him to organize some of the most important events that took place in Messina and Sicily between the seventies and nineties. Exhibitions, international conferences, contacts with the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world. Throughout his life he said he was proudly Christian Democrat. It was an indispensable element within the Messina crusader shield, a point of balance, recognized and appreciated by everyone, among the various currents of the old white whale. He crossed, like many politicians of the time, the phase of the judicial route, in the time of clean hands, was put under investigation for a trip made to Japan when he was a regional councilor for tourism, was suspended from the office of deputy to the Ars, then the trial came out clean. He had an open and jovial character, he knew how to be present in the life of the communities without locking himself in the ivory tower of a crowded and self -referential policy. The funeral will be held on Tuesday in the cathedral. To family members and relatives all the most sincere condolences of the South Gazzetta, GazzettattadelSud.it and RTP.
