Prato mourns Duccio Cipriani, who died in hospital after contracting Covid [notiziediprato.it]

Covid removes another character from the history of the city. Last night, November 5, Duccio Cipriani passed away at Santo Stefano Hospital. He was 63 years old. Film producer, artist and director, his name is linked to that of Buzzi Pagliette for having directed a magazine and for his collaboration with the late Rodolfo Betti with whom he was linked by a fraternal friendship. A few years ago he had produced the film “Gli infami” by Alessandro Paci. Another world in which he was well known was that of the student spirit. He lived alone in his house in La Pietà, he had no siblings and his parents had long since passed away. Few members of the family, but many friends, including the Honorable Giorgio Silli, among the first to hear the bad news.
A few weeks ago he caught the Coronavirus. His condition worsened in recent days until he entered Santo Stefano. He stopped fighting tonight.

Among the first reactions to the news, that of the order of Chiavaccio, the association that brings together the students of Prato and of which Duccio Cipriani was one of the main exponents and that now officially asks the City Council to name a street in the city in honor Cipriani himself in honor of Rodolfo and Roberta. Betti: “Duccio together with Rodolfo and Roberta are no longer here – read the proposal -, but we are committed to transmitting to the new generations the spirit of Prato, the spirit of irony that they have taught us over the years. We launched a strong appeal to the municipal administration to request that a street be dedicated to three people who have made a piece of the history of our city and who have shown the way to many of us. It has not been ten years since his disappearance but we will also begin a collection of signatures because the great town of Prato should not be forgotten “.
