Elvo Tempia Valenta (1920 – 2004)

After the end of the war, he committed himself as a local politician and trade union leader. His long political and civil engagement culminated with the election as a member of the Italian National Parliament.
A family tragedy that happened during the eighties, the death due to cancer of a young son, stimulated Mr Tempia to establish The Fondo Edo Tempia, an advocacy organization based in Biella, Piedmont. The organization rapidly expanded as one of the largest in its country, with activities in health education, in primary cancer prevention and screening, and in assuring support to research laboratories and hospital departments.
