Nicola Signorello

Nicola Signorello (18 June 1926 – 26 December 2022) was an Italian Christian Democracy politician and publicist.

[1] A member of Christian Democracy (Democrazia Cristiana, DC), he was elected in the provincial council of Rome in 1952, remaining there until 1960 when he became president of the province (in charge until 1965).

Signorello was initially near to Mario Scelba's wing within DC, but later moved to Giulio Andreotti's faction, becoming one of the latter's frontmen in Rome alongside Amerigo Petrucci and Franco Evangelisti.

[2][3][4] Signorello was elected as Mayor of Rome in May 1985, after years of Communist government of the city, remaining in charge until resigning in 1988.

[5][6][7] In 1989, Signorello was not given a seat by Andreotti in the Italian Senate and was instead given a banking post in the Istituto per il Credito Sportivo.
