Editing Giorgio Ambrosoli (section)

==Aftermath and Legacy==
Ambrosoli’s funeral on July 14, 1979, at Milan’s San Vittore Church was notably devoid of government officials, reflecting the political sensitivity of his work. However, Bank of Italy Governor Paolo Baffi, future President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, and several Milanese magistrates attended, signaling support from key institutions. Ambrosoli was posthumously awarded Italy’s Gold Medal for Civic Valor for his sacrifice.

Sindona was convicted in 1980 in the U.S. on 65 counts of fraud and related charges. In 1986, he and [[Robert Venetucci]], who facilitated Arico’s involvement, were sentenced to life imprisonment in Italy for ordering Ambrosoli’s murder. On March 18, 1986, two days after his conviction, Sindona died after drinking cyanide-laced coffee in Voghera prison, with most sources suggesting suicide.

Ambrosoli’s assassination exposed the nexus of Mafia, finance, and politics in Italy, including ties to the secretive [[ Propaganda Due P2]] Masonic Lodge, the Vatican Bank, and figures like Andreotti, who infamously remarked in 2010 that Ambrosoli “was a person who, in Romanesque words, was looking for it”. This comment sparked widespread outrage, underscoring Ambrosoli’s moral contrast with the era’s corrupt elite.
