Political cartoonist Sergio Staino
died Saturday morning in hospital in Florence at the age of 83.
The leftist cartoonist and creator of the archetypal Bobo
character had been ill for some time and was hospitalised a few
days ago.
Staino was a pillar of the Left in Italy and was a former editor
of l'Unità, once the organ of the now-defunct Italian Communist
Party (PCI), once the biggest Communist party in western Europe.
