Giulia Bongiorno height - How tall is Giulia Bongiorno?

After the general election in 2018, where she was elected Senator for Sicily among the ranks of the League, she was seen a possible candidate for prime minister.

On 1 June 2018, Bongiorno became the Italian Minister of Public Administration. With the fall of the cabinet during the 2019 Italian government crisis, and the subsequent establishment of the Conte II Cabinet, Bongiorno ceased to be minister in early September 2019.

During her time in the lower house, Bongiorno shepherded a wiretapping bill through Parliament; the Italian Wikipedia protested by shutting down for a time. After punitive amendments were added, she disowned the bill entirely, and it ultimately failed to pass. In 2017, she rejected another version of the bill, saying that it contained ambiguities of language and imposed a burden on judges.

Bongiorno is a chief architect of the 2009 law criminalising stalking; she has also denounced femicide. In 2014, Bongiorno proposed that housewives should be paid for their work, in order to strengthen their economic independence and advance their social dignity.

Bongiorno and Michelle Hunziker established a nonprofit foundation in 2007, Doppia Difesa (Double Defense), to combat discrimination, violence, and abuse against women. The foundation has, among other activities, begun public awareness campaigns (including with Swarovski), participated in conferences, and has received awards. The effectiveness of the foundation's efforts have been questioned.

First elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2006 for the constituency of Lazio, Bongiorno left the lower house in 2013, having been re-elected in the snap election of 2008. Originally a member of the National Alliance, upon its dissolution, she joined its successor, The People of Freedom, led by Silvio Berlusconi. After Berlusconi split with Gianfranco Fini in July 2010, she left as well, joining Fini's new Future and Freedom party, becoming a spokesperson for Future and Freedom, and protesting against Berlusconi's scandals.

As a lawyer, she first rose to fame with her defence of Giulio Andreotti, the forty-first Prime Minister of Italy, during his Mafia association trials. Bongiorno, then in her twenties, successfully defended the statesman in court over the next decade, through multiple appeals, finally culminating in a full acquittal before the Supreme Court of Cassation in 2004. Her work in white-collar crime also brought her into contact with Sergio Cragnotti, the former head of Italian food company Cirio, whom she defended in a fraud case in 2008.

Giulia Bongiorno (born 22 March 1966) is an Italian lawyer and politician who served as the Italian Minister of Public Administration from 1 June 2018 to 5 September 2019. A prominent criminal defense attorney, she has served in both houses of the Italian parliament: formerly a member of the Chamber of Deputies from 2008 to 2013, she has served as a Senator of the Italian Republic since 15 March 2018.
