Emma Bonino, a prominent figure in Italian and European politics, has died in Rome at the age of 78. Her passing was announced by her party, Più Europa, following a period of hospitalization in intensive care due to respiratory issues.
Bonino was a central leader of the Radical Party and a lifelong advocate for civil liberties.
