Giulio Tremonti (born August 18, 1947) is an Italian politician and economist. He is the current Minister of Economy and Finance in the Italian government, presided over by Silvio Berlusconi. He served in the same capacity and as Deputy Prime Minister in prior Berlusconi cabinets.

[edit] Career

Tremonti was born in Sondrio. He is a tenured professor at the University of Pavia, Italy, and has been a Visiting Professor at the Institute of Comparative Law, Oxford.

He first ran for the Italian Parliament in 1987 with the Italian Socialist Party. Elected for the first time in 1994 for the Pact for Italy, he switched his allegiance to Forza Italia soon after the Parliament held session, and obtained a position in the first Berlusconi cabinet.

Born in Sondrio, Northern Lombardy, in a family of Venetian ancestry (from Lorenzago di Cadore, Northern Veneto), he was the man who facilitated the dialogue between Silvio Berlusconi and Umberto Bossi, leader of the Northern League and a friend of Tremonti's, leading to the formation of the center-right coalition House of Freedoms. Although a member of Forza Italia, on many issues he is closer to the League. In particular, he is a staunch political and fiscal federalist, supporting a federal reform of the Italian political system and more autonomy for Lombardy and Veneto, where he has his core supporters.

Tremonti again served as Finance Minister from 2001 to 2004, when he was compelled to resign after disputes about the economic situation of the country - he had been widely criticized by the opposition and, within the House of Freedoms, by the National Alliance. He was then reappointed to the position after his substitute, Domenico Siniscalco, resigned in September 2005.

With his last book, La paura e la speranza, he expressed open support to the anti-globalisation arguments and he suggested a populist and protectionist political economy for Europe.

He is currently Chairman of the Aspen Institute Italia and a frequent guest columnist on the Corriere della Sera, one of Italy's most respected newspapers.
