Career

Fisichella taught political science at Sapienza University of Rome and the Luiss Business School.[2] He has been writing for Rome daily Il Tempo.[2]

He was a founding member of the right-wing National Alliance.[3][4] He was the constitutional advisor of Gianfranco Fini, the leader of the party.[5][6] He was appointed minister of culture to the first cabinet of Silvio Berlusconi on 10 May 1994.[7] Fisichella replaced Alberto Ronchey in the post.[8] Fisichella's ministerial term ended in December 1994 when the cabinet resigned.[9]

In 1994, Fisichella became a member of the Italian senate and served there until 2008.[10] He became an independent senator[11] when he left the National Alliance in January 1996.[6] He served as the deputy speaker of the Italian senate for ten years.[10] After leaving politics, he continued to work at the University of Florence and Sapienza University of Rome, and as of 2012 he was also a lecturer at Luiss University of Rome.[12]

Views

Fisichella was the ideologue of the National Alliance and a monarchist.[13]

Controversy

Although Fisichella is a distinguished and leading political scientist in the international academic circles, his appointment as culture minister caused serious concerns in the international press.[14]

Works

Fisichella is the author of several books, including Istituzioni politiche. Struttura e pensiero (1999); Denaro e democrazia. Dall’antica Grecia all’economia globale (2000); Politica e mutamento sociale (2002) and Elezioni e democrazia. Un’analisi comparata (2003).[10]
