Doddore Meloni
The 74-year-old Sardinian independence campaigner, Salvatore "Doddore" Meloni, died in a Cagliari hospital Wednesday after a two-month-long hunger strike in jail. Meloni was put in jail April 28 to serve time for tax evasion (he denied all charges). He was one of the best-known leaders of Sardinia's independence fight.
It's the only case about a man over the age of 70 arrested for minor financial crime in Italy.
It was found the flag of Sardinia and the Bobby Sands' biography book in his prison cell (the member of Irish Republican Army who died on hunger strike while imprisoned).

A true Sardinian until the end, faithful to death to the ideal of a free Sardinia. He died because of the stupid and gargantuan Italian bureaucracy, kept in prison until the end because he was a thorny guy who used to speak the truth, that Sardinia is Sardinia and not Italy. Not a single Sardinian politician servant of the Italian parties spoke in favor of him when he was dying in an Italian prison. Too coward to expose themselves for such troublesome matter.

Btw, he was a politician who sacrificed himself for his country and his people. Could you mention a contemporary Italian politician who did the same? You can't, because Italian politicians are a bunch of corrupt thieves.
