Guido Crosetto

Guido Crosetto, born on September nineteenth, nineteen sixty-three, is a prominent Italian politician and businessman currently serving as the Minister of Defence since October twenty-second, twenty twenty-two. His political journey began in the Christian Democracy party, where he primarily focused on local politics in Piedmont.

From nineteen ninety to two thousand four, Crosetto held the position of mayor in Marene, a role that laid the foundation for his future in national politics. In two thousand, he transitioned to Forza Italia, marking the start of his ascent in the political arena. His significant breakthrough came in two thousand one when he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, a position he maintained until two thousand thirteen and again from two thousand eighteen to two thousand nineteen.

In two thousand nine, Crosetto became a member of The People of Freedom party and served as an undersecretary at the Ministry of Defence during the fourth Berlusconi government from two thousand eight to two thousand eleven. His political influence expanded further in two thousand twelve when he co-founded Brothers of Italy alongside Giorgia Meloni and Ignazio La Russa, representing the party's moderate wing as its national coordinator from two thousand thirteen to two thousand fourteen and again from two thousand eighteen to two thousand nineteen.

With a wealth of experience in both local and national politics, Crosetto's leadership culminated in his appointment as Minister of Defence in the Meloni government, where he continues to play a vital role in shaping Italy's defense policies.
