Aldo Moro


 

Aldo Moro (Maglie, Lecce Province, September 23, 1916 - Rome, May 9, 1978) was twice Prime Minister of Italy. He was one of Italy's longest-serving post war Prime Ministers, holding power for a combined total of more than six years.

Early career

His political career had started during the late times of fascism, in the G.U.F. university groups. He joined and in 1941 became president of the F.U.C.I. (Federation of Catholic University Students). After World War II, Moro was elected to the Constituent Assembly in 1946, and helped drafting the Italian constitution. He was then re-elected as a member of the house of representatives in 1948, where he served as a member until his violent death.
