The cause of Napolitano’s death remains unknown at this time. His passing has left the nation mourning the loss of a great statesman and a symbol of unity. Tributes and condolences have poured in from political leaders, both within Italy and from around the world, praising his remarkable leadership and unwavering dedication to his country.
