Rosa Russo Iervolino (born Rosa Jervolino; born 17 September 1936) is an Italian politician.
Biography
Iervolino was born to Angelo Raffaele Jervolino (1890–1985) and Maria De Unterrichter (1902–1975), a native of Trentino, on 17 September 1936.[1] Her parents were both Christian Democracy parliamentarians. Her uncle was Südtiroler Volkspartei senator Guido De Unterrichter (1903–1979). She would go on to get a degree in law and begin practicing as a lawyer.[2] The philosopher and politician Domenico Jervolino (1946–2018) was her cousin.
She married Vincenzo Russo on 26 October 1964.[3] Aldo Moro was her witness. They had three children (Michele, Maria Cristina and Francesca). Her husband died before her fiftieth birthday. Her surname was later rendered as Iervolino (with an I instead of a J) and put beside her husband's surname.
Iervolino was leader of the Christian Democratic Women group from 1968 to 1978.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". She served as a member of the Italian Senate as a Christian Democrat (Democrazia Cristiana; DC), starting in 1979 as part of legislature VIII to 1994 in legislature XI when she resigned.[2][4][5] She was elected for her first Senate term representing Lazio, but would represent Abruzzo for the remainder of her term as a Senator.[4][5] She would also serve in the Chamber of Deputies for two terms, between 1994 and 2001.[2]
She was the Minister of Public Education (1992–1994) and the first woman to become Minister of the Interior in Italy (1998–1999).[1][6][7][8]
Following the dissolution of the DC, Iervolino joined the Italian People's Party (PPI) in 1994, and together with her fellow party members was a member of the Olive Tree coalition. She ran as a candidate for Mayor of Naples in the 2001 municipal election for the centre-left coalition and she won with 53% of votes. She would become the first female mayor of the city. On 29 May 2006, she was confirmed with over 57% of votes. She would subsequently go on to join the Democratic Party (PD).[9]
Legal Issues
In February 2013, Iervolino was charged by the Court of Audits, alongside other former mayors such as Antonio Bassolino. Each former mayor was charged 560,893 € due to wasting money on 'useless recruits.'[10][11]
