Biography
The early years
Paolo Gentiloni comes from an old noble family (his ancestor, the leader of the Catholic Union of Voters Count Vincenzo Ottorino Gentiloni , in 1913 concluded with the Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti the so-called “ Gentiloni Giolitti Pact ”, which allowed practicing Catholics to get involved in Italian political life despite the Pope’s ban Roman Pius IX ) [1] . He graduated from the University of Rome La Sapienza , where he studied political science [2] , a professional journalist. He began to show political activity during his studies at the Roman high school named after Torquato Tasso ( Liceo ginnasio Torquato Tasso ) and at the university. According to the memoirs of former classmates, in the Lyceum of Tasso, young Paolo was the leader of the student movement, laconic and decisive, went to Alaska , released the “rebellious” long bang, he did not wear glasses then. At the same time, he considered himself a communist and a Catholic, at times taught the catechism to children along with Agnese Moro, daughter of Aldo Moro . In 1970, striking students seized the Lyceum building, and Gentiloni calmly awaited the police operation, which really took place in a rather harsh form. Having quarreled with his parents then, Gentiloni left for Milan for the ceremony of commemorating the victims of the terrorist attack on December 12, 1969 in Fontana Square . Probably, then he saw the future for himself in his political career, was imbued with the ideas of the youth movement of the “ new left ” led by Mario Kapanna , as well as his sympathies for the Soviet Union , although he was never a supporter of Stalin [3] . After his escape from the house, Gentiloni entered the left-wing “ ” of Kapanne, later reorganized into the “Workers' Movement for Socialism”. Subsequently, this association merged into " Proletarian Democracy " [4] , but Gentiloni did not follow Kapana there.
Journalism, Ecology, Rome
In the midst of the “lead seventies,” Gentiloni moved away from ultra-left movements. He worked in journalism for eleven years, including collaborating in the weekly Fronte popolare (People’s Front), then in Pace e guerra (Peace and War), the journal of the founders of Il Manifesto, Luciana Castellina and Michelangelo Notarianni. In 1984, he joined the environmental movement, led “La nuova ecologia” - a periodical of the organization Legambiente , in the same period met Francesco Rutelli [3] . In 1993, he participated in the election campaign of Rutelli, who fought for the post of mayor of Rome . After his victory, Paolo Gentiloni worked for seven years as the mayor’s press secretary, as well as an assessor of the Roman Mayor’s Office for Tourism and Preparations for the Millennium in 2000 [5] .
Left Center Time
As an expert in communications, Gentiloni became the coordinator of the campaign campaign of the Olive Tree coalition in 2001, he was also among the founders of the Daisy party in 2002, and was on the constituent “committee of forty-five” of the Democratic Party in 2007 [6] .
In 2001, Gentiloni was elected to the Chamber of Deputies and was a member of the Daisy faction : Democracy is freedom , in 2006 he was elected on the list of the Olive Tree coalition, in 2008 [7] and 2013 on the list of the Democratic Party [8] . For all the time he worked in the lower house of Gentiloni, only during the XIV convocation he headed the parliamentary commission: from October 12, 2005 to April 27, 2006 he was chairman of the Parliamentary Commission for the Supervision of the provision of radio and television broadcasting services (Commissione parlamentare per l'indirizzo generale e la vigilanza dei servizi radiotelevisivi) [9] .
From May 17, 2006 to May 6, 2008 Paolo Gentiloni was Minister of Communications in the second government of Prodi [10] . He used his powers to support the bill in the development of the "Law of Gasparri" ( Legge Gasparri ), which regulated the rules of television broadcasting. In particular, the document provided for the conversion of RAI and Retequattro channels to a digital signal , as well as limiting the amount of advertising in order to counter the concentration of capital. Silvio Berlusconi called the bill "an act of banditry" and "a criminal project." The collapse of the government prevented the implementation of Gentiloni's plans [3] .
In 2013, Gentiloni took part in the preliminary elections in the Democratic Party , which aimed to determine a candidate for the post of mayor of Rome, and lost not only to the winner, Ignazio Marino , but also to the third participant, David Sassoli [11] .
Renzi Minister of Foreign Affairs (2014–2016)
December 13, 2015
On October 31, 2014, Paolo Gentiloni was appointed Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Renzi government in connection with the entry of Federica Mogherini into the post of EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy [12] .
On November 15, 2014, in an interview with the Corriere della Sera newspaper, Gentiloni said that it was necessary to show firmness in diplomatic efforts aimed at finding a political solution to the Ukrainian crisis and guaranteeing the preservation of Ukraine’s independence. Nevertheless, according to Gentiloni, the crisis cannot be resolved through sanctions, and Russia should be guaranteed its interests as a great power - in particular, Ukraine should not be accepted into NATO [13] .
On January 16, 2015, Greta Ramelli and Vanessa Marzullo, employees of the Horryaty non-governmental organization , abducted in Syria on July 31, 2014 by anti-government opposition forces , returned to Italy on a special services plane. Gentiloni personally met the girls at Ciampino Airport , and their relatives in an interview with the press recognized the important role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the operation to free the hostages [14] . Gentiloni categorically denied the claims of the right opposition to pay the ransom (the figure was up to 12 million euros) and explained the success of the coordinated work of the special services and the “emergency headquarters” specially created at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs [15] [16] .
On January 22, 2015, Gentiloni's statement made in London at a meeting of ministers of 21 states participating in the coalition against the Islamic State received a significant public response:
There are risks, including significant ones, of terrorist penetration in connection with immigration. Fortunately, our security services are on guard and operational, but not even a minimal reduction in concern should be allowed. Nevertheless, no democratic country can allow any confusion between the phenomena of migration and terrorism and the spread of the idea that terrorists with “ Kalashnikovs ” are hiding in boats with desperate people who adhere to our shores. Such an assumption would be a cultural error, which is also incredible from a technical point of view.
Original text (Italian)- Ci sono di rischi di infiltrazione, anche notevoli, di terroristi dall'immigrazione. Per fortuna i nostri apparati di sicurezza sono allertati e funzionano, ma questo non ci consente di abbassare minimamente il grado di preoccupazione. Ma nessun Paese democratico può avallare alcuna confusione fra fenomeni migratori e terroristici e diffondere l'idea che dietro i barconi di disperati che approdano sulle nostre coste si annidi il terrorista col kalashnikov. Sarebbe un errore culturale, oltreché improbabile, dal punto di vista tecnico- [17]
On February 8, 2015, Gentiloni spoke on the Rai 3 channel in the In ½ h program, where he announced the need for new sanctions against Russia in the event of failure of peace negotiations to resolve the armed conflict in the Donbass , but the start of arms supplies to Ukraine would be a mistake. Nevertheless, according to Gentiloni, Italy will take any decision by the United States on this issue. At the same time, he spoke out against sending US ground troops to the Mosul area to counter ISIS forces [18] .
On February 13, 2015, Gentiloni announced Italy’s readiness to join the coalition of states conducting hostilities against ISIS in connection with the Islamist offensive in Libya . Al Bayan radio station in Mosul said in a broadcast that the Minister of “crusader Italy” announced its readiness to join the coalition of “godless nations” fighting the Islamic state (in Arabic, the phrases “united nations” and “godless nations” sound similar). On February 14, Gentiloni announced that the Italian government was now included in the official list of ISIS enemies [19] .
On May 9, 2015, he arrived in Moscow to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War , which was boycotted by more than half of the 68 invited heads of state and government as a sign of disagreement with the annexation of Crimea to Russia in March 2014. Gentiloni attended the ceremony of laying wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (from the representatives of the G7 countries also attended the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France Laurent Fabius ) and attended a gala reception in honor of the Great Patriotic War veterans in the Kremlin, during which he held a brief meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov [20] [21] .
In early March 2016, the tragic story of the abduction of one of the fighting groups in Libya of four Italian citizens ended: Filippo Calgano (Filippo Calcagno), Gino Pollicardo (Gino Pollicardo), Salvatore Faillo (Salvatore Failla) and Fausto Piano (Fausto Piano). The latter two were killed by the abductors, their family members accused the Italian authorities of inaction. Calganio and Pollicardo returned to their homeland, but also made public statements that they had escaped from captivity without receiving help from the state. Gentiloni said in the Chamber of Deputies that the ransom was not paid, and that the kidnappers were an Islamic group that had nothing to do with the Islamic state [22] .
On April 29, 2016, speaking on Radio 1, Gentiloni made the further development of relations between Italy and Egypt dependent on the outcome of the investigation into the abduction on January 25, 2016 and the death of the Italian scientist Giulio Regeni in this country [23] [24] .

On December 11, 2016, Italian President Sergio Mattarella instructed Gentiloni to form a new government after the resignation of Matteo Renzi [25] .

For several months he underwent rehabilitation, performed state duties in a sparing mode, refused a number of visits and active participation in political life.
On March 5, 2017, in an interview with il Sole 24 Ore, he announced his intention to continue the reforms of the Renzi government, including lowering labor taxes, as well as his intention to keep his government until the next parliamentary elections in 2018. In addition, he listed among the main tasks special programs for the economic development of the South of Italy, criminal law reform, a new competition law, a poverty law, and the completion of already begun reforms of the public service and school [28] .
