Tina Anselmi, Una vita per la democrazia

Tina Anselmi, Una vita per la democrazia

"If the world changes, I'm afraid to be there" was Tina Anselmi's deep conviction. After that, in 1944, after being forced, along with all the Bassano students, to witness the enlistment of 31 homeless Germans, 17-year-old Tina Anselmi decided to join the Italian resistance. A trade unionist in defense of working women, she was the first female minister in Italy, in 1976, as the Minister of Labor, and we thank her for the fact that the salary differences between male and female workers were abolished. He returned to Health as Minister in 1978 and was one of the main supporters of the reform that led to the creation of the National Health Service. In the 1980s, in the presidiums of the Commission of Inquiry of the P2 Masonic Lodge, a secret structure with the capacity to control government institutions, the biggest scandal in Italian history occurred. Often the only woman in the world of homes, Tina Anselmi's life was born out of Italian democracy.
