Gigi Ledda, a prominent entrepreneur and president of the Nuoro Industrialists' Association in the 1990s, died this morning in Macomer . He was 89. He leaves behind his wife, Bruna Conti, and five children, including Rossana Ledda, currently a city councilor in the opposition and a former deputy mayor in the government led by Antonio Succu.
Gigi Ledda was among the first entrepreneurs in Macomer to launch an industrial manufacturing business (wooden products and a modern furniture factory), also opening a manufacturing and marketing center near the 131 in Tossilo, and before that in the Orosai area, between Birori and Macomer, with several employees. He was also president of the Bologna construction fair in the 1980s.
Gigi Ledda was also a prominent figure in politics for several years, a member of the Christian Democrats, but also committed to the development of his hometown and the surrounding area. His health had been deteriorating for some time, but not so serious as to warrant his death, which occurred this morning at the Macomer nursing home.
