At the opening of the plenary meeting of the Superior Council of the Judiciary, the vice-president Fabio Pinelli remembered the lawyer Vincenzo Siniscalchi, who died on Monday due to an illness during a conference, "great Neapolitan criminal lawyer and councilor of the CSM from 2006 to 2010" and asked for a minute of silence, which the entire plenum joined. The magistrate Tullio Morello highlighted "the excellence of a lawyer who has done well for both the legal profession and the judiciary" and "the extraordinary human trait"; a life always on the front line "he died at 92 while he was speaking at a constitution and rights conference, topics that have always fascinated him", he said.
Councilor Domenica Miele also outlined the figure of a "prince of the forum and pillar of Neapolitan advocacy", recalling "a life entirely spent for advocacy, for politics, for training", with the merit of "having culturally grown many lawyers and many magistrates, always combining law and culture in his speeches. Just two weeks ago he wanted to discuss in the courtroom for the last time, confirming a temperament and a spirit always alive and indomitable".
But Siniscalchi was also a man of culture, "a refined lover of the arts and cinema". "He was a beloved and respected figure on the left, his political area, which brought him to the House of Deputies, but also on the right, where his human and professional value was recognized - Miele recalled - We will miss his commitment to the country and to the city of Naples, his sensitivity always attentive to rights, his enthusiasm and his passion for life in all its expressions".
Finally, the councilor Edoardo Cilenti wanted to celebrate the memory of "a refined jurist and great man of culture. A man who leaves an indelible mark for the commitment made in the world of justice, of which he exalted the deepest values. His many merits include the one of having always sought and built a fruitful dialogue with the judiciary for the good of the institutions".
