Biography
Zangheri graduated in Philosophy from the University of Bologna and later taught at the same University and at the University of Trieste.[1][2]
City councilor of Mayor
He joined the Italian Communist Party in 1944 and was elected for the first time to the city council of Bologna in 1956.[1][3] In 1970, Zangheri was elected Mayor of Bologna and guided the city throughout the difficult Years of Lead (Anni di piombo): during those years, the city faced several fascist attacks, such as the Italicus Express bombing, the murder of activist Francesco Lorusso and the 1980 massacre at Bologna railway station.[4][5]
Deputy
Zangheri left his office when he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies at the 1983 general election, being re-elected four years later. From 1986 to 1990, Zangheri was the group leader of the Italian Communist Party in the Chamber of Deputies.[1]
Later life and death
In 1991, Zangheri returned to teaching and was Rector of the University of the Republic of San Marino.[1][6]
He lived in Imola until he died on 6 August 2015, at the age of 90.[7]
