Who is Publio Fiori?

Publio Fiori is an Italian politician. He was born in Rome and graduated in jurisprudence. He became a member of Democrazia Cristiana, to which he belonged for much of his political career.

In 1977 a commando of Brigate Rosse shot him at legs and thorax. Fiori is often included in the list of those belonging to Propaganda Due, a Masonic lodge operating illegally from 1976 to 1981. In 2001, however, the Court of Rome ruled out his membership of P2.

On 1 July 1992 he became undersecretary of the Ministry of Mail and Telecommunications in the Giuliano Amato cabinet, while on 6 May of the following year he was appointed as undersecretary in the Ministry of Public Health. When in 1993 Democrazia Cristiana, then being wiped out by the Tangentopoli corruption scandal, voted for an alliance with former Communist Partito Democratico della Sinistra, Fiori, traditionally tied to the right-wing of DC, abandoned the party.

In 1995 he was one of the founders of Alleanza Nazionale, collecting most of the members of the former post-fascist Italian Social Movement. He was Minister of Transportations in the first Silvio Berlusconi cabinet. Fiori abandoned AN in 2005, dissenting with some lay-oriented moves of secretary Gianfranco Fini, and moved to Christian Democracy for Autonomies, of which he was named president. In July 2006, he was expelled by this movement with accuses of having organized an illegal national congress.
