After a long illness he died today at the age of 65 years Daniele Rossi, former president of the System Authority Port of the Central-Northern Adriatic Sea, a position that has held since 2016 for two four-year terms and then led the Port Authority of Ravenna as commissioner until almost a year ago, until the inauguration of its successor, Francesco Benevolo.

From 2019 to 2021 Rossi was also president of the Association of Italian Ports. "In the course of his mandate at the helm of Assoporti - recalled the association in a note - Daniele Rossi has accompanied the association through phases particularly complex and delicate, contributing with balance, competence and spirit of service to face challenges of great importance, including the health emergency that has put a strain on the transport and port sector. Driving of the Port System Authority of the Adriatic Sea Central-Northern from December 2016 to December 2024 and then continue as commissioner until the installation of his successor, has left a deep mark on the development of the port of Ravenna, promoting strategic projects and a vision of growth that is still recognized and remembered by operators, institutions and the port community. His contribution has been a benchmark for modernization of the port and for the strengthening of the role of Italian ports in the national and European context".
