Giuseppe Tatarella, better known as Pinuccio Tatarella (17 September 1935 – 8 February 1999), was an Italian politician who served as deputy prime minister in the first cabinet of Silvio Berlusconi from 1994 to 1995.
Early life and education[]
Tatarella was born in Cerignola, Apulia, in 1935.[1][2] He held a law degree.[2]
Career[]
Tatarella was a lawyer and journalist.[3] He worked for the local branches of neo-fascist Italian Social Movement party, which was launched by Benito Mussolini's followers in 1946 based on his strong nationalistic ideals.[2][3] In the 1960s he launched the weekly Puglia D'Oggi (meaning Puglia Today in English).[1] In 1970, he became a member of the Puglia regional council.[1] In 1979, he was first elected to the parliament and retained his seat until 1999.[1][2] He served as floor leader of the AN at the parliament for a long time.[4]
Then he became a senior member of National Alliance that was established in January 1994.[3][5] The party was the continuation of the Italian Social Movement.[3] In 1996, he took over the Il Roma, Naples-based daily, and served as its editor until 1999.[1]
He was appointed deputy prime minister to the first cabinet of Silvio Berlusconi, which was the first right-wing cabinet of Italy after World War II, on 10 May 1994.[6][7] He also served as Minister of Post and Telecommunications in the same cabinet[8] and was one of four AN members in the cabinet.[9] However, only his appointment was considered to be significant.[10] Indeed he was surnamed minister of harmony.[11] He was in office until 1995. Tatarella also won his seat from Bari in the elections held on 22 April 1996.[12] In January 1997, he was named as the head of a parliamentary subcommittee, named form of government.[13] It was one of four subcommittees that constituted a bicameral committee of parliament set up to discuss the institutional reorganization of Italy.[13]
Views[]
Although Tatarella was described and viewed as a fascist, he never admitted it and stated "I am a nationalist, a Catholic and a democrat."[1]
Death[]
Tatarella died of a heart attack at a hospital in Turin at age 63 on 8 February 1999.[14][15] A funeral service was performed for him in Bari.[14]
