Among his ancestors is also Francesco Maria Bovio (about 1750–1830), a lawyer and professor of literature and law at the University of Altamura who actively participated in the revolutionary movements of Neapolitan Republic of 1799 and the Altamuran Revolution (1799).
[1] Libero Corso Bovio graduated in law in 1971 at the age of 24 with 110/110 cum laude from the University of Milan.
[2][4] Some relatives, acquaintances and colleagues were incredulous in front of the fact, and they couldn't fund any reason why Bovio had committed suicide.
[3][4][5][6] Bovio worked as a lawyer for some of the major Italian publishing companies, including RCS MediaGroup, Il Sole 24 Ore and Società San Paolo.
He also held courses at the IFG of the Ordine dei Giornalisti di Milano and at the school of journalism of the University of Urbino.
