The world of education is mourning the sudden passing of Sergio Repetto . He was 59 years old and served as director of the provincial school office in Oristano . He had previously served as director of the regional school office in Umbria .
And the first messages of condolence are arriving from Umbria. "The news of Sergio Repetto's sudden passing saddens us," wrote Regional Council President Stefania Proietti and Education Councilor Fabio Barcaioli in a statement. "We remember," they added, "the seriousness and sense of responsibility with which he carried out his managerial duties. In this time of mourning, we extend our condolences to his family, his loved ones, his colleagues, and the entire educational community, both in Umbria and Sardinia."
" An upright man, attentive to his students, both male and female, and to the small towns of our Umbria ," wrote regional councilor Simona Meloni on social media. "In a fast-paced world, he taught us the value of determination and respect, bringing to our school corridors the ancient and solid wisdom typical of his roots, Sardinia, where he returned at the end of the year for a new assignment."
For Perugia's mayor, Vittoria Ferdinandi , Sergio Repetto "represented an authoritative and competent point of reference for our region in the world of education and public administration. A graduate of the University of Cagliari with a degree in Political Science, specializing in political and economic policy, with honors, Repetto gained extensive professional experience as a programmer analyst in the healthcare sector and at INPS (National Institute of Social Security) before moving to senior government positions. Last January, he returned to his native Sardinia to head the Provincial School Office in Oristano."
From Cagliari, the Cobas emphasized "not only his competence and dedication to his work, but also his human sensitivity, intellectual openness, and ability to communicate, qualities that are often lacking in those who hold positions of responsibility and power. In him, however, these qualities seemed natural and facilitated his work and relationships not only with his collaborators, but with his interlocutors, even those on opposing sides, like the Cobas."
