A virologist, a presenter and the president of a football club arrive at the Italian Parliament

After becoming television personalities, scientists also enter politics, in the case of microbiologist Andrea Crisanti Rita dalla Chiesa is the Italian Ana Rosa and has made her leap from the Mediaset screen to the Chamber The criticized president of Lazio, Claudio Lotito, also enters , one of the two main soccer teams in the city of RomeWhile the calculations and negotiations have already begun between the winners to form the new Council of Ministers, Italy is still waiting for the call from President Sergio Mattarella for the round of consultations official and subsequent investiture, predictably, of Meloni as the new prime minister. In addition, with Parliament already confirmed, those elected at the polls are beginning to be known. Italy will have, this is the first legislature with the cut of parliamentarians approved in 2019, 400 deputies, instead of 630, and 200 senators instead of 315. Claudio Lotito, Rita Dalla Chiesa and Andrea Crisanti make their debut in the Italian chambers, three names well known in the country and who, from very diverse fields, reach political representation. The president of a football match, an Italian television star and a virologist are thus the most striking in the new formation of Parliament and for very different reasons why they have made the leap into politics. Very striking names that, thanks to their popularity, very likely guarantee that they will win the seat. Rita Dalla Chiesa, 75, who many call the Italian Ana Rosa, famous television presenter for Mediaset, was presenting herself with Fuerza Italia in the Apulia region, to the south. She has always carried with her the wound of the murder of her father, General Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, a state worker and victim of the mafia. In her career as a journalist, at the helm of Forum, an iconic Italian television program that puts on screen the dispute between two people with an open dispute and a judge’s verdict, she has become a well-known face for the Italian society. She is very close to Silvio Berlusconi, with whom she has worked since her beginnings at Fininvest, she has wanted to be by her side on this occasion, attending to the political call of the cavaliere. She has obtained almost 80 thousand votes, 40%, in a uninominal college that, unlike the proportional one, grants the seat directly to the most voted candidate. A very close school in which she has finally won the television star. Another highly publicized case is that of Claudio Lotito, president of Lazio, one of the two teams from the Italian capital, and Roma’s historical opponent. A controversial man -especially for looking the other way with the repeated episodes of racism that take place in the ultra background of his stadium- who already tried to enter the Senate in 2018 without success and who tried again in these generals with more luck . He gets his seat for Berlusconi’s party Fuerza Italia in a single-member association in the Molise region, in south-central Italy, with 43% of the votes, great support, far from his competitor, the M5S candidate, who came second far away with 23%. In his role as laziale president, a position he has held since 2004 and for which he is known, he has lifted three Italian Cups and three Italian Super Cups. Since the arrival of the pandemic, virologists have become regulars on Italian television. From experts to characters known by all Italians thanks to the media, now, his landing in Parliament. Two names were presented, the epidemiologist Pierluigi Lopalco and the microbiologist Andrea Crisanti, both with the Democratic Party but only the latter, Crisanti, has definitely won a seat. He is a microbiologist, director of the Department of Molecular Medicine at the University of Padua, and was elected to the Senate in the European constituency. He will be in Parliament thanks to approximately 37,000 votes and has declared that he was surprised by the number of people who have placed their trust in him.🔔 Crisanti è diventato senatore: quanti voti ha preso lo scienziato

On the other hand, they leave the political scene after not having found support at the polls the leader of +Europe, Emma Bonino, and historic left-wing leader in Italy. In the same school, however, Lavinia Menucci was elected, from the Brothers of Italy, who not only removed Bonino’s position, but also one of the leaders of the so-called Third Pole, Carlo Calenda, who enjoyed an “armored candidacy” and he was elected by the proportional system in another electoral college.
