Tognoli was born at Milan and joined the Italian Socialist Party (Partito Socialista Italiano, or PSI) in 1958. Elected into the Italian Chamber of Deputies, he was also Mayor of Milan from 1976 to 1986. In 1984–1987 he was also elected to the European Parliament; in the latter year, he was appointed Minister of Problems of Urban Areas in the cabinets of Giovanni Goria and Ciriaco De Mita. Later he was Minister of Tourism and Spectacles in the 6th and 7th Giulio Andreotti governments.
From 1981 to 1992, Tognoli was a journalist and director of the monthly newspaper Critica Sociale. In 1992, he was involved in the Tangentopoli scandal together with his party colleague Paolo Pillitteri (who had been his successor as mayor of Milan). Tognoli subsequently abandoned political activity and in 1995 obtained a position in Mediobanca thanks to the intercession of Enrico Cuccia.[1]
