Nicola Mancino (born 15 October 1931) is an Italian politician. He held important roles in the Italian government, including serving as the President of the Senate of the Republic from 1996 to 2001. He was also the Minister of the Interior and the governor of the Campania region.
Early Life and Political Start
Nicola Mancino was born in Montefalcione, a town in the Campania region of Italy. He began his political career by becoming a leader for the Christian Democratic Party (Democrazia Cristiana) in his province and then in the wider region. He was first elected to the Italian Senate in 1976 and continued to be re-elected in later elections.
Minister of the Interior
Nicola Mancino served as the Italian Minister of the Interior from 1992 to 1994. During his time as Minister, a significant law was created and signed in 1993. This law, often called the "Mancino law," helps to prosecute people involved in discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or religion. It also targets those who encourage hate crime. This law was an important step in fighting prejudice in Italy.
Later Career Highlights
In 1994, after the Christian Democratic Party dissolved, Mancino joined the Italian People's Party (PPI). He worked closely with its leader, Mino Martinazzoli. He did not support forming an alliance with the right-wing group led by Silvio Berlusconi.
Later, he became part of a group of parties called La Margherita (The Daisy). This group formed from the left side of the PPI. After the center-left group won the 1996 elections, Nicola Mancino was chosen to be the President of the Italian Senate. He held this important position from May 9, 1996, until May 29, 2001.
On July 24, 2006, he left the Senate. He then became the deputy-president of the Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura. This is Italy's main council for justice.
