Il suo ragionare, ficco ed asciutto allo stesso tempo, si caricava, nel parlare, di una forza dialettica progressiva inesorabile, che, per quanto mi riguarda, a me e capitato di riscontrare solo in Enrico Berlinguer.
In the June 1984 European elections for the first time the PCI vote was greater than any other party in Italy, a triumph attributed to the sudden death from a brain haemorrhage of the PCI's highly respected general-secretary Enrico Berlinguer during a rally address on the eve of voting.
