Fernando dalla Chiesa (born 3 November 1949) is an Italian academic and politician, honorary president of Libera,[1] former deputy and senator.

[5] Dalla Chiesa was not re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1994 general election and decided to leave The Network.

Dalla Chiesa did not run for a parliamentary seat again in the 2006 general election, but after the win of The Union he was appointed undersecretary for universities and scientific research in the second Prodi Cabinet.

[10] Dalla Chiesa has written several books and essays about politics and the fight against organized crime in Italy.

In telling the experience and the tragic end of Livatino, dalla Chiesa reconstructs his vision of the connection between the Mafia, politics and institutions in Sicily and Italy in the late 1980s, indicating the murder of the judge as one of the highest triumphs of criminal powers.
