Biography[]

Iervolino was born to Angelo Raffaele Jervolino (1890-1985) and (1902-1975), a native of Trentino, on September 17, 1936.^[1] Her parents were both Christian Democracy parliamentarians. Her uncle was Südtiroler Volkspartei senator (1903-1979). She would go on to get a degree in law and begin practicing as a lawyer.^[2] The philosopher and politician Domenico Jervolino (1946-2018) was her cousin.

She married Vincenzo Russo on 26 October 1964. ^[3] Aldo Moro was her witness. They had three children (Michele, Maria Cristina and Francesca). Her husband died before her fiftieth birthday.

Her surname was later rendered as Iervolino (with an I instead of a J) and put beside her husband's surname.

She was a member of the Democratic Coalition (Olive Tree). She was leader of Christian Democratic Women (1968 to 1978).^{[citation needed]} She served as a member of the Italian Senate as a Christian Democrat, starting in 1979 as part of legislature VIII to 1994 in legislature XI when she resigned.^[2]^[4]^[5] She was elected for her first Senate term representing Lazio, but would represent Abruzzo for the remainder of her term as a Senator.^[4]^[5] In 1993 was the president of Italian People's Party.^{[citation needed]} She would later go on to join the Democratic Party.^[6] She would also serve in the Chamber of Deputies for two terms, between 1994 and 2001.^[2]

She was the Minister of Public Education (1992–1994), the first woman to become Minister of the Interior in Italy (1998–1999), and mayor of Naples.^[1]^[7]^[8]^[9]

She ran as a candidate for Mayor of Naples in the 2001 municipal election for the centre-left coalition and she won with 53% of votes. She would become the first female mayor of the city. On 29 May 2006, she was confirmed with over 57% of votes.

Legal Issues[]

In February 2013 Iervolino was charged by the Court of Audits, alongside other former mayors such as Antonio Bassolino. Charging each former mayor 560,893 euros due to wasting money on 'useless recruits.'^[10]^[11]
