Timeline

1925

Giovanni Spadolini (21 June 1925 – 4 August 1994) was an Italian politician and statesman, who served as the 44th prime minister of Italy.

Spadolini was born in Florence in 1925.

In his youth, he worked in a public library.

Spadolini was a republican and fascist-aligned activist, and wrote for the periodical Italia e Civiltà ("Italy and Civilisation").

He was close to Giovanni Gentile, and a number of times Spadolini expressed his anti-Freemason, anti-liberal and antisemitic views.

1944

In 1944, during the Italian Civil War, he joined the Italian Social Republic.

1945

He had been a leading figure in the Republican Party and the first head of a government to not be a member of Christian Democrats since 1945.

He was also a newspaper editor, journalist and historian.

He is considered a highly respected intellectual for his literary works and his cultural dimension.

Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Florence, he was the author of numerous historical works.

He was also a journalist and editor-in-chief of the Bolognese newspaper Il Resto del Carlino, then of the Milanese newspaper Il Corriere della Sera.

During the post-war period (from 1945 to 1950) Spadolini revised his old ideas, and became a moderate liberal conservative.

He also rejected antisemitism in favour of Zionism.

He studied law at the University of Florence and shortly after graduation was appointed Professor of Contemporary History in the Faculty of Political Science.

1955

He also became a political columnist for several newspapers, such as Il Borghese, Il Messaggero and Il Mondo, becoming editor-in-chief of the Bologna paper Il Resto del Carlino in 1955, doubling its circulation during his tenure.

1968

In 1968, Spadolini moved to Milan where he took over the editorship of Italy's largest newspaper, Corriere della Sera, a position he held until 1972.

In that year, he was elected as a senator, going on to serve as minister of the environment and then minister of education.

1974

Spadolini was the first Italian Minister of Cultural Heritage and Environment from 1974 to 1976.

1979

Then in 1979, he was appointed secretary of the small but powerful Italian Republican Party (PRI).

As a journalist, he sometimes used the pseudonym Giovanni dalle Bande Nere (Giovanni of the Black Bands).

1981

He became Prime Minister in 1981 and he led two successive cabinets which were supported by a coalition of parties in Parliament but this only lasted a few months.

He served as Prime Minister of Italy from 1981 to 1982, the first PM since 1945 not to be a member of the Christian Democrats.

He pledged to fight corruption (in particular a scandal involving certain Italian political figures connected with a Masonic lodge known as P2) and mounting terrorist violence.

In foreign policy, he was a non-interventionist but also moderately Americanist.

In particular, he shifted away from Italy's previous pro-Arab policy, refusing to meet Yasser Arafat during his official visit to Italy to protest the murder of Stefano Gaj Taché, an Italian Jewish child, by PLO terrorists, and suggesting that the Bologna train station bombing may have been perpetrated by the PLO and Gaddafi's Libya, in spite of a majority accusing neo-fascists.

1982

In 1982, after a political crisis between the Minister of the Treasury Beniamino Andreatta (DC) and the Minister of Finance Rino Formica (PSI), Spadolini resigned and formed a new cabinet identical to the former, which collapsed in November when Bettino Craxi's Socialist Party withdrew its support.

1983

He was Minister of Defence in the governments headed by Socialist leader Bettino Craxi from 1983 to 1987 before being elected President of the Senate.
