Ahmad Gianpiero Vincenzo (born 1961 in Naples[1]) is a leader of the Italian Muslim community. A 1990 convert to Islam,[1] he is a founder and president of the organization Intelletuali Musulmani Italiani (Italian Muslim Intellectuals).[1]
In November 2008, Vincenzo, as a representative of the Mosque of Rome, was received by Pope Benedict XVI at the first summit of the Catholic-Muslim Forum that was formed to improve interfaith relations following a 2006 speech by Benedict in which he was understood by many to be linking Islam with violence.[2] He has called for efforts to combat Islamic extremism.[3]
Vincenzo also advises the Italian Senate's Constitutional Affairs Commission on matters related to immigration.[3]
