A moved crowd gathered at Montalbo to bid a final farewell to Tonino Carattoni. As reported by L’Informazione di San Marino, during the ceremony public tributes intertwined with the memories of family members, who were embraced by those present.
Fiorini, president of TitanCoop and Carattoni’s personal secretary during his time as Secretary of State for Industry, recalled his political consistency. Despite having received offers for other positions, Tonino refused to join a government whose line and ideas he did not share.
Gilberto Ghiotti retraced his contribution to the Republic’s international opening. In his remarks, he recalled the impetus Carattoni gave, during the 1980s, to San Marino’s path toward the Council of Europe and the Convention on Human Rights, culminating in the country’s accession to the Council of Europe in 1988.
Following the tributes to his institutional commitment came words from his children Enrico and Cecilia and his wife Marilena, who thanked everyone who had expressed closeness to the family.
The ceremony closed with pieces of classical music performed on violin and cello. The body was cremated.
