Benito Nardone

Benito Nardone Cetrulo (November 22, 1906 – March 25, 1964) was a Uruguayan journalist and political figure.

His political prominence came about after his long established reputation as a radio personality.

Prior to assuming the Presidency, he was seen as politically close to Domingo Bordaberry and his son Juan María Bordaberry, both of them heavily involved with a Ruralist affairs organization led by Nardone.

In 1960 Nardone's Blanco Party colleague Martín Echegoyen stepped down as President of the National Council of Government, so Nardone succeeded Echegoyen as president, remaining in charge until 1961.

Nardone was himself succeeded as President by Eduardo Víctor Haedo, also a Blanco Party colleague.
