Nicola Mancino, born on October 15, 1931, is an Italian politician. He held important roles in Italy's government. He was the President of the Senate of the Republic, a major leader in the Italian parliament, from 1996 to 2001. He also served as a regional leader in Campania and as the Minister of the Interior.

Early Life and Political Start

Nicola Mancino was born in Montefalcione, a town in the Campania region of Italy. He started his political journey with the Christian Democratic Party. He was elected to the Italian Senate, which is like a big council that helps run the country, for the first time in 1976. He was re-elected many times after that.

Role as Minister of the Interior

From 1992 to 1994, Nicola Mancino served as the Italian Minister of the Interior. This role is very important because it involves keeping the country safe and managing public order. During his time as Minister, a law was passed in 1993, often called the "Mancino law." This law helps to prevent and punish acts of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or religion. It also addresses actions that encourage hate.

Later Career and Key Positions

After 1994, the Christian Democratic Party changed. Mancino then joined the Italian People's Party. He later became part of a group of parties called La Margherita.

Following the elections in 1996, where the center-left parties won, Mancino was chosen to be the President of the Italian Senate. He held this significant position from May 9, 1996, until May 29, 2001.

After leaving the Senate in 2006, he became the Vice-President of the Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura. This is Italy's main council for justice. In 2012, he faced a trial in Palermo related to events from 1992. However, on April 20, 2018, he was found not guilty.
