Sergio Mattarella is an Italian politician, lawyer, and former judge, who has been serving as the 12th president of Italy since 2015. He served as a member of parliament (MP) from 1983 to 2008, the minister for parliamentary relations from 1987 to 1989, the minister of public education from 1989 to 1990, the minister of defense from 1999 to 2001, and a judge of the ‘Constitutional Court’ from 2011 to 2015. In 2015, he assumed office as the 12th (and the first Sicilian) president of the Italian Republic. Mattarella has been associated with several political parties, such as the 'Christian Democracy,' the 'Italian People's Party,' 'The Daisy,' and the 'Democratic Party.' He later announced he would no longer be associated with any party. The Catholic social and reform movement motivated Mattarella to join politics. Additionally, he has published several scientific research and publications on constitutional law, parliamentary activities, and the government. He has delivered lectures at various conferences on law studies and has taught postgraduate courses at several universities.
