Life

Libero Corso Bovio was born in Milan on 5 May 1948. His father was Giovanni Bovio, one of the leading Milanese lawyers, who died in the 1970s. His grandfather was the poet and musician Libero Bovio (1883–1942), while his great-grandfather was the famous philosopher Giovanni Bovio (1837–1903). Among his ancestors is also Francesco Maria Bovio (about 1750–1830), a lawyer and professor of literature and law at the University of Altamura who actively participated in the revolutionary movements of the Parthenopean Republic (1799) and the Altamuran Revolution (1799).[1]

Libero Corso Bovio graduated in law in 1971 at the age of 24 with 110/110 cum laude from the University of Milan. He also became a journalist in 1970. Over time, he became a well-known and talented lawyer, and worked in a well-known office specialized in press laws and criminal law. He was also married to lawyer Rita Percile.[1][2]

Death

On 9 July 2007, Corso Bovio returned from a business trip to Prato at around 2 pm. He had handed a letter to his assistant, which had to be delivered to his wife and had locked in his office, located in Via Podgora, 13, Milan.[3] Shortly thereafter, his assistant heard a shot, and the lawyer was found dead inside his room. From the beginning, detectives considered more likely that a suicide occurred, by blowing in the mouth with a 357 Magnum.[2][4]

Some relatives, acquaintances and colleagues were incredulous in front of the fact, and they couldn't fund any reason why Bovio had committed suicide. In the days following his death, some websites somewhat questioned the suicide, which was described as "obscure".[3][4][5][6]

Career as lawyer and lecturer

Bovio worked as a lawyer for some of the major Italian publishing companies, including RCS MediaGroup, Il Sole 24 Ore and Società San Paolo. He had also worked as a lawyer for the well-known financier Stefano Ricucci.[2] Some of his clients were prominent Italian politicians and businessmen.[5]

He published some works for Ordine Nazionale dei Giornalisti. He also held courses at the IFG of the Ordine dei Giornalisti di Milano and at the school of journalism of the University of Urbino. He also worked for the Bocconi University for criminal procedure seminars. As a journalist, moreover, he collaborated actively with many Italian newspapers, including Corriere della Sera and Italian magazines such as Famiglia Cristiana and Oggi.[2]
