Aldo Aniasi,OMRI[1] (31 May 1921 – 27 August 2005) was an Italian politician.
Aniasi was born inPalmanova, inFriuli. In 1943 he joined theBrigate Garibaldi, the paramilitary wing of theItalian Communist Party (PCI) in theItalian resistance. He fought inPiedmont, inValsesia andOssola. In 1945 he was briefly the lieutenant for theNational Liberation Committee inMilan.
After the war Aniasi left the PCI, adhering (after 1947) to theItalian Democratic Socialist Party (PSDI). Aniasi was a councilman of Milan from 1951 to 1967, when he becameMayor of the city following the resignation ofPietro Bucalossi; he contributed to Bucalossi's fall by leaving the PSDI to join theItalian Socialist Party (PSI).[2] Mayor during the "Years of Lead", Aniasi was often in disagreement with theprefectLibero Mazza: while the latter supportedlaw and order policies against theRed Brigades and other terrorists, Aniasi supported disarming the police instead. Aniasi was also criticized for seemingly downplaying terrorism.
In 1976, he was elected to theChamber of Deputies, where he remained until 1994. In the 1980s, he wasMinister of Health in theCossiga II andForlani Cabinets. As Minister, he created theNational Health Service.
After 1994, he left politics temporarily before joining theDemocrats of the Left (DS), becoming a member of its directive council. He died in Milan in 2005 and is buried at the city'sMonumental Cemetery.[3]
