Saragat
Giuseppe Saragat (; 19 September 1898 – 11 June 1988) was an Italian politician who served as the president of Italy from 1964 to 1971. Early life Born to Sardinian parents, he was a member of the Unitary Socialist Party (''Partito Socialista Unitario''; PSU) from 1922. He moved to Vienna in 1926 and to France in 1929. Political career Following the dissolution of the PSU in 1930, Saragat joined the Italian Socialist Party (''Partito Socialista Italiano''; PSI). He was a reformist democratic socialist who left the PSI in 1947 out of concern over its then-close alliance with the Italian Communist Party. He subsequently founded the Socialist Party of Italian Workers (''Partito Socialista dei Lavoratori Italiani''; PSLI), which in 1952 became the Italian Democratic Socialist Party (''Partito Socialista Democratico Italiano''; PSDI). He was to be the paramount leader of the PSDI for the rest of his life.

The split, led by Giuseppe Saragat and the sons of Giacomo Matteotti, took the name of ''Scissione di Palazzo Barberini'', from the name of a palace in Rome where it took place. On 1 May 195 ...

Deputy Prime Minister Of Italy
The Deputy Prime Minister of Italy, officially Vice-President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic (Italian: ''Vicepresidente del Consiglio dei ministri della Repubblica Italiana''), is a senior member of the Italian Cabinet. Moreover, it is often colloquially known as ''Vicepremier''. The office of the Deputy Prime Minister is not a permanent position, existing only at the discretion of the Prime Minister, who may appoint to other offices to give seniority to a particular Cabinet minister. The office is currently held by Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani under Giorgia Meloni's premiership. Though they will always have particular responsibilities in government, the Italian deputy prime minister, unlike analogous offices in some other nations, such as a vice-presidency, possesses no special constitutional powers as such, as their powers are solely defined by ordinary law, more specifically, by article 8 of law 400/1998 (Italian: ''legge 400/1998''), The Deputy Pri ...
