Biography

Vico was born in Taranto on 11 February 1952 and later lived in Matera. He first became a member of the Italian Communist Party before joining the Democratic Party of the Left. In 2006, he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, representing the constituency of Puglia. There, he joined The Olive Tree coalition. He was re-elected in 2008 as a member of the Democratic Party. He finished second in 2013 and left the Chamber.

Vico returned to the Chamber of Deputies on 15 March 2015 following the resignation of Massimo Bray.[2][3] On 28 July 2017, following the passage of a law to make certain vaccines mandatory, he, alongside Elisa Mariano and Salvatore Capone, was attacked outside the Palazzo Montecitorio by antivaccine protesters. They sought refuge in a vehicle, which was then kicked and punched by the protesters.[4][5][6]

Ludovico Vico died in Manduria on 8 September 2021 at the age of 69.[7]
