Ugo Crescenzi (25 April 1930 – 9 January 2017) was an Italian politician and member of the Christian Democrats (DC). Crescenzi served as the first President of the Italian region of Abruzzo from 1970 until 1972.[1][2] He served a second, non-consecutive tenure as Abruzzo's President from 1973 to 1974.[2] He later became a member of the national Chamber of Deputies from 1987 to 1992 as a DC deputy during the Legislature X.[1][2] Ugo Crescenzi, who spent decades as a prominent DC official in Abruzzo, is credited with improving the modern infrastructure of the city of Pescara, the capital of the region.[1]

Crescenzi was born on 25 April 1930 in San Benedetto del Tronto in the neighboring region of Marche.[1][2] He moved to Pescara after completing his university studies and married into a Pescaran family.[1]

Crescenzi has been credited with expanding much of Pescara's modern infrastructure.[1] His contributions to the city included the renovations and modernization of the Abruzzo Airport and the Pescara railway station, the expansion of an existing highway, and upgrades to the marina.[1]

Crescenzi was admitted to hospital on 5 January 2017 for kidney failure.[1] He died four days later in a Pescara hospital on 9 January 2017, at the age of 86.[1] His funeral was held at the Sacro Cuore di Pescara Catholic Church in Pescara on 11 January in Pescara with burial at the Colonnella cemetery in Teramo.[1]
