Luigi Calabresi (Rome on November 14, 1937 - Milan on May 17, 1972) was a commissar of the Italian police. Received the gold medal to the value of the Italian Republic. He was deputy director of the Milan police policy team when he was assassinated.
He is especially famous for his involvement in the Pinelli case. While Giuseppe Pinelli, a Milanese railway anarchist, was being questioned in the office of Commissar Calabresi, he died when he was thrown out the window. Despite the scandal and signs of torture, the trial determined that Pinelli had fallen out of the window after a fainting spell.
The judge conducting the first investigation of the proceedings was the President of the Court of Milan Carlo Biotti, then the victim of an incredible protest actions, was replaced by the young.
This fact was denounced among others by Dario Fo and Adriano Sofri, leader in those moments of "Lotta Continua". Sofri wrote articles denouncing the case and asking for a punishment for Calabresi, which is why he was tried to blame for the subsequent murder without succeeding. In 1972 Calabresi was shot and killed, allegedly by members of the Continta Lotta organization.
The trial of Lotta Continua members took place in 1988, when a single witness and member of the repentant group indicted several of their comrades as perpetrators and instigators of the murder: among them Adriano Sofri, leader of "Lotta continua."
Calabresi is a servant of God, recognized by Pope Paul VI.
