Renato Zangheri (8 April 1925 – 6 August 2015) was an Italian politician, who was Mayor of Bologna from 1970 to 1983 and Member of the Chamber of Deputies from 1893 to 1992.

1946

In 1946, he codirected Città Nuova, a weekly newspaper dedicated to discussing the city's post-war reconstruction.

Zangheri studied with the Faculty of Literature and Philosophy at the University of Bologna, graduating with a thesis on the problems and aspects of Italian socialism.

1948

Among his teachers were, who wrote that Zangheri had "the religious sense of culture" in a 1948 letter.

From 1960 to 1964, Zangheri was responsible for the city's cultural institutions, only recently transferred from the competence of the city's superintendence.

The policy allowed him to navigate the tension between the traditional communists in the PCI's leadership and the progressive communists from the new students' movements of the 1960.

Under his leadership, Bologna opened Italy's first gay community centre, the Cassero, against the wish of the central party.

While Zangheri bemoaned how Bologna was a net fiscal contributor and deprived of its full funding by the central government, the council was recognised for its administrative efficiency.

Zangheri was vilified by many citizens, especially young people, with a popular protest chant "Zangherì, Zangherà".

Approaching Bene after his speech, Bene told Zangheri: "Get out of my sight, or I will be forced to kick your arse off the tower."
