In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Casini indicated it is time to “make room for new personalities more in tune with current political parties and coalitions.”

Casini’s political history includes serving through eleven consecutive legislatures across various parties, including Democrazia Cristiana and the Unione dei Democratici Cristiani e Democratici di Centro. His departure is noted alongside profiles of other influential political figures, such as Claudio Durigon, who was a key architect of the ‘Quota 100’ pension measure.
