Dario Antoniozzi

He was the father of Alfredo Antoniozzi, an MEP from 2004 to 2014 among the ranks of Forza Italia.

He was elected for the first time to the Chamber of Deputies in 1953, and held office until 1980.

He was Vice-Secretary of the Christian Democracy and party leader in Calabria for a long time.

A Member of the European Parliament since its establishment, in 1979 he achieved excellent personal success at the first direct election of the Strasbourg Assembly and was re-elected also in the subsequent European election.

However, on the occasion of the 1989 European Parliament election, Antoniozzi, weakened by the internal struggles inside the Christian Democracy and by the explicit aversion of Riccardo Misasi, he was no longer re-elected and therefore withdrew from political life active, continuing to hold high-level conferences, all over the world, on Europe and the meaning of this choice.
