Giorgio Bellini, an emblematic figure of Swiss youth protests, passed away at age 80. Known for his radical activism during the 1980s, he became a national figure after an audacious disruption of the Swiss television news broadcast. Despite numerous controversies, including alleged ties to terrorism, the true extent of his involvement remains shrouded in mystery. In later years, he lived calmly in Gandria, contributing to his community. Friends and family bid farewell with a boat procession on Lake Lugano.
