'''Fernando Tambroni Armaroli''' ({{IPA|it|ferˈnando tamˈbroːni armaˈrɔːli|lang}}; 25 November 1901 – 18 February 1963) was an Italian politician. A member of [[Christian Democracy (Italy)|Christian Democracy]], he served as the 36th [[Prime Minister of Italy]] from March to July 1960.<ref>[http://www.senato.it/leg/03/BGT/Schede/Attsen/00010001.htm Fernando Tambroni Armaroli – Senato della Repubblica], ''senato.it''</ref> He also served as [[Minister of the Interior (Italy)|Minister of the Interior]] from July 1955 until February 1959, [[Minister of Budget (Italy)|Minister of Budget]] and [[Minister of the Treasury (Italy)|Treasury]] from February 1959 to March 1960, and Minister of the Merchant Navy from August 1953 until July 1955.

Despite having started his political career as a [[reformist]] and supporter of [[centre-left]] economic policies,<ref>Paul Ginsborg ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=uhgRA9j9FOwC A History of Contemporary Italy: Society and Politics, 1943-1988]'', pp.256-7</ref> while in government he became a [[right-wing]], [[conservative]] politician, implementing [[Law and order (politics)|law and order]] policies.<ref name="Partridge1998">{{cite book|author=Hilary Partridge|title=Italian Politics Today|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I-5OR8tDkEIC&pg=PA93|access-date=27 September 2013|date=15 October 1998|publisher=Manchester University Press|isbn=978-0-7190-4944-6|pages=93–}}</ref> Moreover, he was accused as Interior Minister of having created his own [[secret police]] to produce dossiers on his political opponents.<ref>[https://www.micciacorta.it/2011/06/la-polizia-segreta-di-tambroni/ La polizia segreta di Tambroni], ''Micciacorta''</ref> His role as Prime Minister is best remembered for the riots which resulted from the possibility that he might look to the neo-fascist [[Italian Social Movement]] for support against the parliamentary left.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=QSQOAQAAMAAJ&q=Fernando+Tambroni+25+nov+1901 Profile of Fernando Tambroni]</ref>

==Early life==
Tambroni was born in [[Ascoli Piceno]], [[Marche]], [[Kingdom of Italy]], in 1901.<ref>[http://www.senato.it/leg/02/BGT/Schede/Attsen/00010001.htm Fernando Tambroni Armaroli – Scheda di attività], ''senato.it''</ref> His father, Arturo Tambroni, was the director of a youth re-educational institute, while her mother Amalia Laurenti was a housewife.<ref>[http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/fernando-tambroni-armaroli_(Enciclopedia-Italiana)/ Fernando Tambroni Armaroli], ''Enciclopedia Treccani''</ref> After attending the [[Liceo classico|classical lyceum]], he studied law at the [[University of Macerata]], where he graduated few years later. In those years he became a member of the [[Italian People's Party (1919)|Italian People's Party]] (PPI), the [[Christian-democratic]] party led by Don [[Luigi Sturzo]], of which he was appointed provincial secretary for [[Macerata]]. He served also as vice president of the [[Italian Catholic Federation of University Students]] (FUCI), under the presidency of [[Giuseppe Spataro]].<ref>[http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/giuseppe-spataro_%28Dizionario-Biografico%29/ Giuseppe Spataro – Dizionario Biografico], ''Enciclopedia Treccani''</ref>

===Fascist regime===
In November 1926, after the dissolution of the PPI imposed by the [[Fascist regime in Italy]], Tambroni published an article on the ''[[Corriere Adriatico]]'', in which he declared that he had "abjured [his] previous political ideals" and that he had become uninterested in any activity contrary to the fascist regime. He described [[Benito Mussolini]] as "the man designated by the providence of God". After a few years, in 1932, he joined the [[National Fascist Party]] (PNF). Once the regime had fallen, he declared that he had not written the article willingly but had been forced to do so by PNF bosses' threats.<ref>[http://boldrini.altervista.org/articoli/con_il_preambolo.htm Il premier marchigiano] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200407091431/http://boldrini.altervista.org/articoli/con_il_preambolo.htm |date=7 April 2020 }}, ''altervista.org''</ref>

Tambroni entered the legal profession in 1923. He started out in the law firm of Augusto Giardini. During the 1920s, he became a rather well-known and appreciated [[criminal defense lawyer]]. In 1927, he welcomed his sister Rina, the second female lawyer in [[Ancona]], as a colleague in the firm. After the war, Rina would take over the running of the firm.<ref>''Prefazione'', in ''Il senso dello Stato'', 1960, page 7</ref> During these years, Tambroni married Mafalda Giacopelli. Two daughters were born to the couple: Maria Grazia and Gabriella.<ref>[https://patrimonio.archivioluce.com/luce-web/search/result.html?persone=%22Tambroni,%20signora%22&activeFilter=persone Tambroni], Archivio Storico Istituto Luce</ref>

The Second World War found Tambroni serving in the Voluntary Militia for National Security (MVSN), commonly known as the [[Blackshirts]], the paramilitary wing of the PNF. His squad was an [[anti-aircraft battery]] in the Ancona area.<ref name=":0">[http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/fernando-tambroni-armaroli_%28Dizionario-Biografico%29/ Fernando Tambroni Armaroli – Dizionario Biografico], ''Enciclopedia Treccani''</ref> Once the ''Duce'' had been overthrown in July 1943, Tambroni left the PNF and did not follow Mussolini in the [[Italian Social Republic]],<ref>[https://www.anpi.it/donne-e-uomini/2612/fernando-tambroni Fernando Tambroni], ANPI</ref> returning instead to more moderate political activity and contributing in December 1943 to the foundation of [[Christian Democracy (Italy)|Christian Democracy]] (DC), the new centrist and [[Catholic]] party led by [[Alcide De Gasperi]]. Tambroni soon became one of the main DC figures in the [[Marche]] region.<ref>[http://www.archivio900.it/it/nomi/nom.aspx?id=1419 Fernando Tambroni – Biografia]</ref>

==Political career==
In the [[1946 Italian general election]], he was elected in the [[Constituent Assembly of Italy]] for the constituency of [[Ancona–Pesaro–Macerata–Ascoli Piceno constituency (1946–1994)|Ancona–Pesaro–Macerata–Ascoli Piceno]], receiving almost 20,500 votes.<ref>[https://elezionistorico.interno.gov.it/candidati.php?tpel=A&dtel=02/06/1946&tpa=I&tpe=I&lev0=0&levsut0=0&lev1=18&levsut1=1&ne1=18&es0=S&es1=S&ms=S&ne=18&nlg=1&ts=C&ccp=1 Elezioni del 1946: Collegio di Ancona–Pesaro–Macerata–Ascoli Piceno], Ministero dell'Interno</ref> In the Constituent Assembly, he was appointed in the electoral commission and then in the 4th commission for bills' examination.<ref>[http://legislature.camera.it/chiosco.asp?cp=1&position=Assemblea%20Costituente\I%20Costituenti&content=altre_sezioni/assemblea_costituente/composizione/costituenti/framedeputato.asp?Deputato=1d12540 Fernando Tambroni Armaroli], Assemblea Costituente</ref>

In the [[1948 Italian general election]], he was elected in the [[Chamber of Deputies (Italy)|Chamber of Deputies]] with more than 45,000 votes.<ref>[https://elezionistorico.interno.gov.it/candidati.php?tpel=C&dtel=18/04/1948&tpa=I&tpe=I&lev0=0&levsut0=0&lev1=17&levsut1=1&ne1=17&es0=S&es1=S&ms=S&ne=17&nlg=1&ts=C&ccp=1 Elezioni del 1948: Collegio di Ancona–Pesaro–Macerata–Ascoli Piceno], Ministero dell'Interno</ref> In these years, he became a vocal critic of De Gasperi's policies, advocating for more incisive social reforms.<ref>''Il Popolo'', 18 November 1948</ref> Between June 1948 and January 1950, he served as vice-president of the public works commission of the Chamber, therefore, from January 1950 to July 1953, under-secretary of the Merchant Navy in the [[De Gasperi VI Cabinet|sixth]] and [[De Gasperi VII Cabinet|seventh]] governments chaired by Alcide De Gasperi.<ref>[http://www.governo.it/it/i-governi-dal-1943-ad-oggi/i-legislatura-8-maggio-1948-4-aprile-1953/governo-de-gasperi-vi/3227 Governo De Gasperi VI], ''governo.it''</ref><ref>[http://www.governo.it/it/i-governi-dal-1943-ad-oggi/i-legislatura-8-maggio-1948-4-aprile-1953/governo-de-gasperi-vii/3226 Governo De Gasperi VII], ''governo.it''</ref>

===Minister of Merchant Navy===
In the [[1953 Italian general election]], the government coalition won 49.9% of national vote, just a few thousand votes of the threshold for a supermajority, resulting in an ordinary proportional distribution of the seats.<ref>Also its parliamentarian exam had a disruptive effect: "Among the iron pots of political forces that faced in the Cold War, Senate cracked as earthenware pot": {{cite journal|last1=Buonomo|first1=Giampiero|title=Come il Senato si scoprì vaso di coccio|journal=L'Ago e Il Filo|date=2014|url=https://www.questia.com/projects#!/project/89210209|access-date=7 April 2020|archive-date=1 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120801002834/http://www.questia.com/projects#!/project/89210209|url-status=dead}}</ref> Technically, the government won the election, winning a clear working [[majority]] of seats in both houses, but frustration with the failure to win a supermajority caused significant tensions in the leading coalition, which ended on 2 August, when De Gasperi was forced to resign by the [[Italian Parliament|Parliament]]. On 17 August, President [[Luigi Einaudi]] appointed [[Giuseppe Pella]] as new [[Prime Minister of Italy|Prime Minister]],<ref>[http://www.repubblica.it/politica/2018/05/12/news/matterella_cita_einaudi_e_l_incarico_a_pella_fu_il_primo_governo_del_presidente-196214438/?ref=RHPPLF-BL-I0-C8-P1-S1.8-T2 Mattarella cita Einaudi e l'incarico a Pella: fu il primo governo del presidente]</ref> while Tambroni became Minister of Merchant Navy.<ref>[https://www.ilfoglio.it/articoli/2012/02/22/news/il-governo-del-preside-pella-60960/ Il governo del Presidente Pella]</ref> He would remain in office until July 1955, serving also in the governments of [[Amintore Fanfani]] and [[Mario Scelba]].<ref>[https://storia.camera.it/governi/i-governo-fanfani I Governo Fanfani], ''camera.it''</ref><ref>[http://www.senato.it/leg/02/BGT/Schede/Governi/0042_M.htm Composizione del Governo Scelba], ''senato.it''</ref>

As minister, he approved the so-called "Tambroni law", which for the first time attempted to resolve the [[shipyard]]s situation, with a 10 year concession of tax relief and state aids to encourage the reduction of production costs, promoting their competitiveness in the international market.<ref>[http://www.imprese.san.beniculturali.it/web/imprese/percorsi/scheda-dossier?p_p_id=56_INSTANCE_0Coy&groupId=18701&articleId=32961&p_p_lifecycle=1&p_p_state=normal&viewMode=normal&articleIdPadre=33010 Legge Tambroni – Cantieri navali]</ref>

===Minister of the Interior===
[[File:Fernando Tambroni 1950.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Tambroni in 1950]]
In July 1955, the newly appointed Prime Minister, [[Antonio Segni]], selected Tambroni as his [[Italian Minister of the Interior|Minister of the Interior]].<ref>[http://www.senato.it/leg/02/BGT/Schede/Governi/0043_M.htm Composzione del Governo Segni I], ''senato.it''</ref> Tambroni would remain at the [[palazzo del Viminale|Viminale Palace]] until February 1959, serving also in the cabinets of [[Adone Zoli]] and Amintore Fanfani.<ref>[https://storia.camera.it/governi/i-governo-zoli Governo Zoli], ''camera.it''</ref><ref>[http://www.senato.it/leg/03/BGT/Schede/Governi/0045_M.htm Governo Fanfani II], ''senato.it''</ref>

During his ministry, he was accused of using prefects in favor of the political interest of the government and his party. In 1956, he sent a confidential note to all Italian prefects inviting them to produce a report that not only illustrated the political ideals of the population, but also indicated measures that "could be implemented before the 1957 local elections to favorably influence voters, with the aim of starting a more effective fight against [[communism]].<ref>''Archivio centrale dello Stato'', ''Ministero del’Interno'', Gabinetto 1957–1960, b. 356, f. 17225</ref> He also created an ''ad hoc'' office, with some of his close and trusted advisors. Politicians, militants and citizens with leftist sympathies and ideas ended up in these files, but dossiers were also opened on party comrades and politicians close to the DC, to have instruments of conditioning, if not blackmail, other politicians.<ref>[https://st.ilsole24ore.com/art/cultura/2011-06-26/polizia-segreta-tambroni-081523.shtml?uuid=AaHNM7iD La polizia segreta di Tambroni], ''Il Sole 24 Ore''</ref>

As minister, he organized the electoral campaign of the [[1958 Italian general election]]. He also approved interventions on municipal laws and local finances, prepared plans for reforming public assistance and ''[[Protezione Civile]]'' law and reorganized the [[Vigili del Fuoco]], the Italian firefighters corp. Tambroni authorized also the translation of Mussolini's body in the family chapel in [[Predappio]] and dissolved the city council of [[Naples]], earning the hostility of mayor [[Achille Lauro]].<ref>[http://www.centrostudimalfatti.eu/fernando-tambroni-armaroli/ Fernando Tambroni Armaroli], ''centrostudimalfatti.eu''</ref>

During these years, he was ranked among the main supporters of [[centre-left politics]], becoming a close ally of [[Amintore Fanfani]]. In 1956, speaking at the party congress in [[Trento]], he openly supported an alliance with the [[Italian Socialist Party]] (PSI), calling for an "innovative government program" and describing the centrist policies as "absurd".<ref>Radi, 1990, page 47</ref>

In January 1959, a conspicuous group of Christian Democrats started voting against their own government, forcing Fanfani to resign on 26 January 1959, after only six months in power.<ref name=time160661>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090813222259/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,895359,00.html "Italy's Fanfan"], ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'', 16 June 1961.</ref> On 16 February, Antonio Segni sworn in as new Prime Minister and Tambroni was appointed [[Italian Minister of Budget|Minister of Budget]] and [[Italian Minister of Treasury|Treasury]].<ref>[http://www.senato.it/leg/02/BGT/Schede/Governi/0043_M.htm Governo Segni I], senato.it</ref>

==Prime Minister of Italy==
In March 1960, the [[Italian Liberal Party]] (PLI) withdrew its support to his government and Segni was forced to resign. President [[Giovanni Gronchi]] gave Tambroni the task of forming a new cabinet. Tambroni formed a one-party cabinet composed only by DC members, with the sole external support of the neo-fascist [[Italian Social Movement]] (MSI), a unique case in the history of the Italian Republic.<ref name="GinsborgTambroni">Ginsborg (1990) pp.256-7</ref>

On 8 April, the Chamber of Deputies gave the [[confidence vote]] to government, with the fundamental support of the MSI. However, the neo-fascist vital supported created growing tensions within the DC and with some ministers who threatened their resignations, Tambroni was forced to resign. President Gronchi gave then the task of forming a new cabinet to Fanfani, to verify the possibility of starting a centre-left government. However, he was opposed by an important part of the DC, so Tambroni returned to the Senate, where he received the confidence vote on 29 April.<ref>[http://www.senato.it/leg/03/BGT/Schede/Governi/0047_M.htm Composizione del Governo Tambroni], ''Senato della Repubblica''</ref>

Tambroni listed among the main focus of his government's program the institution of [[Italian regions|regions]] with a special statute for [[Friuli-Venezia Giulia]], the reform of local finances, the modernization of public administration, a wide program of social and economic interventions, the reorganization of the [[Ferrovie dello Stato|state railways]] and a new foreign policy to improve bilateral relations with emerging countries like [[China]], [[India]] and [[Arab countries]].<ref>[[Chamber of Deputies (Italy)|Chamber of Deputies]], ''Atti Parlamentari. Discussioni, III Legislatura'', 4 April 1960, page 13424</ref>

Since the beginning, Tambroni's premiership was characterised by a strong [[social conservatism]] on social issues, often pursued with [[authoritarian]] manners.<ref>[https://pochestorie.corriere.it/2020/04/29/governo-tambroni-60-anni-fa-il-rientro-del-neofascismo-nel-gioco-politico/  Governo Tambroni: 60 anni fa il rientro del neofascismo nel gioco politico], ''Corriere della Sera''</ref> On 21 May 1960, a rally led by [[Italian Communist Party|Communist]] deputy [[Giancarlo Pajetta]] was broken up by the police with the total support from the government, causing riots. While on 15 June, the Minister of Culture, [[Umberto Tupini]] announced plans to censor all movies with "scandalous subjects, harmful for the consciousness of Italians", including [[Federico Fellini]]'s ''[[La Dolce Vita]]''.<ref>[https://www.ilmessaggero.it/rubriche/accadde_oggi/tupini_fellini_turismo_ministro_censura-442604.html 15 giugno 1960 Il ministro Tupini censura “La dolce vita], ''Il Messaggero''</ref>

===Anti-fascist riots===
[[File:Tambroni Genova scontri.jpg|thumb|220px|The 1960 riots in [[Genoa]]]]
The most controversial decision of his cabinet, was the permission to the MSI to hold its national congress in [[Genoa]], one of the capitals of [[Italian Resistance]] against Fascism.<ref>[http://www.raiscuola.rai.it/articoli-programma-puntate/il-governo-tambroni/29968/default.aspx Il governo Tambroni], ''Rai Scuola''</ref> This move was considered by the public opinion as a further and unacceptable opening to the neo-fascists, by the government.

On 30 June 1960, a large demonstration summoned by the left-wing [[CGIL]] trade union and by other leftist forces in the streets of Genoa was heavily suppressed by the Italian police.<ref>[https://www.genova24.it/2017/06/30-giugno-1960-no-pasaran-genova-quel-accadde-182598/ 30 giugno 1960: il “No pasaràn!” di Genova (e quel che accadde prima e dopo)], ''Genova 24''</ref> Other popular demonstrations in [[Reggio Emilia]], [[Rome]], [[Palermo]], [[Catania]], [[Licata]] again saw violent intervention by the police, causing several deaths. On 7 July, while news of the demonstrators killed in Reggio, Emilia arrived in the Chamber; Tambroni only spoke about "unpleasant incidents", stating the government's willingness was to do "its duty to defend the state and the free institutions".<ref>''Camera dei Deputati, Atti Parlamentari. Discussioni, III Legislatura'', 7 July 1960, page 15700–15701</ref> Moreover, the interior minister, [[Giuseppe Spataro]], accused the PCI of having stirred up the riots.<ref>''Camera dei Deputati, Atti Parlamentari. Discussioni, III Legislatura'', 7 July 1960, page 157689</ref>

On 8 July, the political situation was so worrying that the President of the Senate, [[Cesare Merzagora]], with an unprecedented practice and not informing the President of the Republic, proposed, finding support also in the President of the Chamber [[Giovanni Leone]], a fifteen-day truce, with the return of the police  to the barracks and the consequent stop of [[anti-fascist]] protests. This effectively delegitimized the actions of Tambroni and Spataro, and represented the beginning of the government crisis.<ref>''La rivolta di Genova nelle parole di chi c'era'', Alessandro Benna, Lucia Compagnino, Fratelli Frilli Editore, 30 June 1960</ref>

On 19 July, when many members of his own party, withdrew their supports to the government, Tambroni was forced to resign, after only 116 days in power.<ref>[http://www.governo.it/it/i-governi-dal-1943-ad-oggi/iii-legislatura-12-giugno-1958-18-febbraio-1963/governo-tambroni/3215 Governo Tambroni], ''www.governo.it''</ref>

==Death and legacy==
After his resignation, Tambroni's political life was ''de facto'' concluded and he would never play a key role again. On 18 February 1963, Tambroni died in [[Rome]] due to [[cardiac arrest]].<ref>[http://www.archivio900.it/it/nomi/nom.aspx?id=1419 Fernando Tambroni], ''Archivio 900''</ref> A few days earlier, DC's secretary [[Aldo Moro]] had informed him that he was going to be excluded from the party list in the [[1963 Italian general election]].<ref name=":0" /> On the following day, the newspaper ''[[La Stampa]]'' remembered him on the front page as "a cold man with no cordiality. ... Tambroni had always been a loner, with very few really close friends, even when he reached the top of his political career".<ref>''L’uomo politico'', ''[[La Stampa]]'', 19 February 1963</ref>

Due to his [[authoritarian]] stances and his alliance with the [[neo-fascist]] MSI, Tambroni has often been regarded as one of the least appreciated Prime Ministers in the history of Italian Republic.<ref>[https://www.tesionline.it/appunti/storia-contemporanea/il-brevissimo-governo-tambroni-/613/60 Il brevissimo governo Tambroni]</ref>
