Giovanni "Gianni" Alemanno (b. 3 March 1958 in Bari, Italy) is an Italian politician who is currently Mayor of Rome.
He joined the Italian Social Movement at a very early age and became national secretary of the youth organization of the party in 1988. After being elected regional deputy of Lazio in 1990, he was elected for the first time to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1994 general election.
In 1995, along with Francesco Storace, he founded the Social Right, which was intended to be the more right-wing, socially-oriented and socially conservative faction within National Alliance, the new party in which the Italian Social Movement was merged after repudation of extremism.
Between 2001 and 2006 Alemanno was Minister of Agriculture in Berlusconi II and III Cabinet.
After having been heavily defeated by Walter Veltroni in the 2006 mayoral election of Rome, in April 2008 he defeated Francesco Rutelli and became Mayor of the city.
Alemanno always wears a necklace with a celtic cross as a religious symbol and in memory of a friend killed by political opponents, but he rarely chooses to show it.[1]. This is somewhat controversial as a stylised celtic cross is a popular fascist symbol in Italy.
