Giuseppe Conte (born 8 August 1964) is an Italian professor of law and lawyer.[1][2]
Early life and career
Giuseppe Conte was born in Volturara Appula, near Foggia, in 1964.[3] He studied at the La Sapienza University of Rome,[4] where he graduated in 1988 with the maximum of votes.[5] For short terms, Conte studied abroad, in 1992 he moved to the United States to study at Yale Law School and Duquesne University and at the International Culture Institute in Vienna (1993); later, Sorbonne University (in 2000), Girton College, Cambridge (in 2001) and New York University (in 2008).[6]
He started his academic career during the 1990s, when he taught at Roma Tre University, at LUMSA University of Rome, at the University of Malta and at the University of Sassari.[5] Conte is currently professor of private law at the University of Florence and at LUISS of Rome.[7][8]
On 18 September 2013, he was elected by the Chamber of Deputies, member of the Bureau of Administrative Justice.[9]
Political career
In early 2018, Conte was selected by Luigi Di Maio, leader of the Five Star Movement (M5S), as the future possible Minister of Public Administration in his cabinet, following the 2018 general election.[10] However the election resulted in a hung parliament,[11] with the M5S that became the party with the largest number of votes and of parliamentary seats, while the centre-right alliance, in which Matteo Salvini's League, emerged as the main political force won a plurality of seats in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Senate. The centre-left coalition, led by former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, came third.[12]
On 9 May, after a day of rumours, both Di Maio and Salvini officially requested President Sergio Mattarella to give them 24 more hours to strike a government agreement between the two parties.[13] Later the same day, in the evening, Silvio Berlusconi publicly announced Forza Italia would not support a M5S–League government on a vote of confidence, but he would still maintain the centre-right alliance nonetheless, thus opening the doors to a possible majority government between the two parties.[14]
On 13 May, Five Star Movement and League reached an agreement in principle on a government program, likely clearing the way for the formation of a governing coalition between the two parties, but could not find an agreement regarding the members of a government cabinet, most importantly the prime minister. M5S and League leaders met with Italian President Sergio Mattarella on 14 May to guide the formation of a new government.[15] On their meeting with President Mattarella, both parties asked for an additional week of negotiations to agree on a detailed government program and a prime minister to lead the joint government. Both M5S and the League announced their intention to ask their respective members to vote on the government agreement by the weekend.[16][17]
On 21 May 2018, Conte was proposed by Di Maio and Salvini for the role of Prime Minister in the next Italian government.[18][19]
