Gian Giacomo Pisotti, a magistrate and jurist originally from Sassari, has passed away at the age of 83. He practiced law in Cagliari for decades, earning widespread respect from both his colleagues and the legal profession.
He entered the judiciary in 1971, starting out as a magistrate in Sanluri, before moving to the labor division of the Court of Cagliari. From 1980, he served as a civil and bankruptcy judge, eventually becoming president of the civil divisions in 2000. Years of rigorously crafted rulings, often in sensitive areas such as family law and personal protection, where behind every case lay lives, wounds, and hopes.
From 2009 to 2016 he headed the civil section of the Court of Appeal of Cagliari.
But retirement hadn't silenced his passionate voice for law and justice. Pisotti continued to engage passionately in legal debate, fighting for civil rights, against discrimination, and in defense of the most vulnerable. Until the end, he was a magistrate who never stopped believing in justice as a means of dignity for all.
