Bruno Visentini

Bruno Visentini (August 1, 1914 – February 13, 1995) was an Italian politician, senator, minister, lecturer and industrialist.

While in prison, Visentini would ask his wife to bring food and clothes for all his cellmates, as well as various books to remain occupied and mentally stimulated.

He was the co-founder of the Action Party (Partito d'Azione) with Ugo La Malfa, and took part in the resistance against the German occupation in Veneto and in Rome.

In December 1945 Visentini was nominated undersecretary for the Minister of Finance in Alcide De Gasperi's first cabinet.

Two years later he was elected vice-president of Confederation of Italian Industry (Confindustria), but on November 23 he resigned to become Minister of Finance in Aldo Moro's fourth government, during which he launched a program of reforms of the fiscal system.
