Early life and education

Tatarella was born in Cerignola, Apulia, in 1935.[1][2] He held a law degree.[2]

Career

Tatarella was a lawyer and journalist.[3] He worked for the local branches of neo-fascist Italian Social Movement party, which was launched by Benito Mussolini's followers in 1946 based on his strong nationalistic ideals.[2][3] In the 1960s he launched the weekly Puglia D'Oggi (Italian: Puglia Today).[1] In 1970, he became a member of the Puglia regional council.[1] In 1979, he was first elected to the Parliament and retained his seat until 1999.[1][2]

Tatarella was among the cofounders of National Alliance (AN) that was established in January 1994.[4][5] He became one of its senior member.[3] The party was the continuation of the Italian Social Movement.[3] He served as floor leader of the AN at the parliament for a long time.[6] In 1996, he took over the Il Roma, a Naples-based daily, and served as its editor until 1999.[1]

He was appointed deputy prime minister to the first cabinet of Silvio Berlusconi, which was the first right-wing cabinet of Italy after World War II, on 10 May 1994.[7][8] He also served as minister of post and telecommunications in the same cabinet[9] and was one of four AN members in the Berlusconi's first cabinet.[10] However, only his appointment was regarded as significant.[11] Indeed he was surnamed minister of harmony.[12] Tatarella was in office until 1995. He also won his seat from Bari in the elections held on 22 April 1996.[13] In January 1997, he was named as the head of a parliamentary subcommittee, named form of government.[14] It was one of four subcommittees that constituted a bicameral committee of parliament set up to discuss the institutional reorganization of Italy.[14]

Views and reactions

Although Tatarella was described and viewed as a fascist, he never admitted it and stated "I am a nationalist, a Catholic and a democrat."[1] Belgian minister Elio Di Rupo refused to shake Tatarella's hand during a meeting in Brussels when Tatarella was serving as deputy prime minister and ministry of posts and telecommunications.[15] It was due to the negative image of the AN.[15]

Death

Tatarella died of a heart attack at a hospital in Turin at age 63 on 8 February 1999.[16][17] A funeral service was performed for him in Bari.[16]
