Marcello Pittella (born 4 June 1962) is an Italian politician. He served as president of the Basilicata region from 2013 to 2019. Formerly a member of the Democratic Party, he has been associated with the Action party since 2022.

Early life, family, and education

Pittella was born in Lauria. He graduated at the University of Naples Federico II's Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. A member of the influential Pittella family,[1][2][3] his father Domenico and brother Gianni were also politicians, all of them being members of the Italian Socialist Party. Referred to as the Pittellas,[4] they are considered a dynasty within the region,[5][6][7] with Pittella compared to Jep Gambardella in The Great Beauty.[8] In his youth, Pittella was involved in sports, particularly volleyball, and became a sports manager.[9]

Political career

Pittella's first administrative commitment was as municipal councilor of Lauria was in 1993. He held the office of alderman for Productive Activities and Sports. Pittella then joined the Labour Federation, and in 1995 successfully ran as a councilor for the province of Potenza. After joining the Democrats of the Left, of which he was the regional leader, he was re-elected in 1999 and became president of the council. He was also the mayor of Lauria from 2001 to 2005. In the 2005 Basilicata regional election, Pittella was elected to the Basilicata Regional Council. He joined the Democratic Party in 2007 and was re-elected in the 2010 Basilicata regional election. Pittella joined the Basilicata's Regional Government in 2012 as assessor to productive activity. He was the vice-president from April 2013 to September 2013. In the 2013 Basilicata regional election, he succeeded Vito De Filippo, being elected president of Basilicata.[9][10][11]

In January 2015, due to the illicit repayments obtained between 2009 and 2010, Pitella was condemned by the Court of Accounts of Potenza to "compensate the damage produced to the Basilicata Region" for the amount of €6,319.84.[12][13] On 6 July 2018, he ended up under house arrest as a result of an investigation by the Guardia di Finanza regarding rigged competitions and piloted appointments in the Lucanian health service; as a result, he was suspended from the office of president pending final judgment as result of the Severino Law.[14] On 24 September 2018, he was released but the Guardia di Finanza ordered the interdiction of residence in Potenza that was revoked by the preliminary hearing judge on 30 January 2019, following his resignation as president presented on 24 January 2019.[15]

In the 2019 Basilicata regional election, Pittella was a divisive figure within the centre-left coalition due to the 2018 investigation, and was replaced by Carlo Trerotola. Despite this, Pittella was re-elected regional councillor among the ranks of the civic list Forward Basilicata,[16] which garnered more votes than the Democratic Party,[17][18] with Pittella remaining the most voted politician.[19] On 22 December 2021, the Court of Matera acquitted him of all charges and rejected the request for three years in prison presented by the public prosecutor as part of what came to be known as the Sanitopoli lucana scandal, while seven managers of healthcare companies had instead been sentenced to sentences between two and five years. Pittella said: "These have been difficult, hard years. I was a front-page monster. But I always had the faith that time could reveal the truth."[14] On 1 March 2024, the Potenza Court of Appeal confirmed the acquittal of Pittella.[14]

In 2022, Pittella, followed by his brother, left the Democratic Party after not being listed as a candidate for the 2022 Italian general election and joined the Action party led by former Democratic Party member Carlo Calenda.[20][21] Placed at the top of Action's list for the Senate of the Republic in the proportional quota in Basilicata, he was not elected.[22] For the 2024 Basilicata regional election, after division and dissent within the centre-left coalition,[23][24][25] he joined the centre-right coalition in support of the incumbent president Vito Bardi,[26] despite having been at the opposition,[27] which caused dissent with his brother.[28][29] In justifying his and the party's decision to support Bardi and join the centre-right coalition in an audio message, Pittella compared the behavior of the Democratic Party and the Five Star Movement towards Action, alleging vetoes,[30] to that of Jews during the Holocaust. He soon said that he was sorry about the comparison and apologized to anyone who felt offended by it.[31][32][33] In his written statement announcing Action's support for Bardi, alongside the Action Basilicata regional secretary Donato Pessolano, Pittella wrote that they shared "elements of his program on which to build an agreement", in particular the "relaunch of health and welfare, a reorganization and implementation of regional governance, the identification of strategies for development", which also evaluate the establishment of a sovereign fund against depopulation, "a strategy for culture that sees Matera as a beacon", and a fight against precarious employment, with a particular focus "in favour of agriculture and aiming for a high-performance governance of forestation".[34]

Personal life

Pittella is married and has three children. In addition to his politics career, he is a surgeon. In the 1980s, he played volleyball.[9][35] In 2016, Pittella joined the Transnational Radical Party.[36][37][38]
