Fermo "Mino" Martinazzoli (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfermo ˈmiːno martinatˈtsɔːli]; 3 November 1931 – 4 September 2011) was an Italian lawyer, politician, and former minister. He was the last secretary of the Christian Democracy (DC) party and the first secretary of the Italian People's Party (PPI) founded in 1994.

Early life and education

Born in Orzinuovi, Martinazzoli studied at Collegio Borromeo in Pavia, where he received a law degree. He then became a lawyer.[1]

Career

Martinazzoli's political career began in the 1960s and 1970s, when he assumed official roles in Brescia's DC. From 1970 to 1972, he was the province of Brescia president. In 1972, he was elected in the Senate of the Republic, after which he became Minister of Justice in 1983, a position he held for three years. In 1986–1989, he was president of DC's deputies. In 1989–1990, he was Minister of Defence but resigned, together with other ministers of the DC's left-wing, after the approval of a law that strengthened Silvio Berlusconi's monopoly over private TV channels in Italy.[2]

In 1992, when the DC party was being wiped out by the

mayor of Brescia for the new centre-left coalition, known as The Olive Tree, winning the final ballot and acting as mayor until 1998.[1]

In 2000, Martinazzoli lost the competition with

UDEUR in 2004, being appointed as its president, a position from which he resigned in 2005. He died on 4 September 2011, at the age of 79.[2]
