Career

A long-time member of the Italian Socialist Party and close ally of Bettino Craxi and Gianni De Michelis, he was the mayor of Venice from 1985 to 1987 and a member of the European Parliament from 1987 to 1994.[1] In 2000 he returned to active politics by joining the New Italian Socialist Party. In the 2005 regional election he was elected to the Regional Council of Veneto, where he was a close ally of President Giancarlo Galan. Laroni was re-elected in 2010 from the regional list in support of Luca Zaia and sat in the group of The People of Freedom, before switching to the New Centre-Right in 2013.

Laroni died on 14 July 2019 in Mestre, at age 76, of complications from heart surgery.[2]

gollark: The 20th century is close enough that they probably won't be considered horrible until, say, 2070.
gollark: Also, everyone far enough in the past was probably horrible in some way.
gollark: What "parody of Job"?
gollark: Idea: deploy apiotemporohazards to wipe out everyone in the past who had now-distasteful political/ethical/sociological views.
gollark: Was he significantly more racist/etc. than *other* people at the time? I'd assume so somewhat.
