The article is completely unsourced, and does not pass WP:GNG. Additionally there is no proof of satisfying WP:ANYBIO or WP:NACADEMIC. So, I believe the article should be deleted. Kostas20142 (talk) 11:25, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. The Italian Wikipedia article has a few decent looking references suggesting that the subject passes the GNG; I've added an obituary (in Italian) to this article. Most of his work appears to be in Italian, though there are English translations, and it seems that there was a book published in his honour in 1995, suggesting that he meets at least criteria 1 of WP:ACADEMIC ("The publication of an anniversary or memorial journal volume or a Festschrift dedicated to a particular person is usually enough to satisfy Criterion 1").

 * Keep -- notable as WP:AUTHOR with multiple published books and decent library holdings: Identities. Here's a sample review:
 * Review: Why Violence? A Philosophical Interpretation by Sergio Cotta; Dante Germino; Giovanni Gallace. Review by: James C. Dick. Political Theory, Vol. 14, No. 3 (Aug., 1986), pp. 513-517 Published by: Sage Publications, Inc. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/191274 Page Count: 5
