Biography

Poggiolini was born September 15, 1932 in Rocca San Casciano.[1][2] He would go on to get a degree in medicine and surgery, specializing in cardiology, and would go on to become the president of the National Federation of Orders of Surgeons and Dentists (FNOMCeO ).[3][4]

After leaving office, he would retain this position and criticize Italy's public healthcare system during Mani pulite; claiming that hospital administrators were given rewards for party affiliation and not merit.[5]

Political Career

Originally Poggiolini was a member of the Italian Republican Party (PRI), winning a seat for the Italian Chamber of Deputies in Torino during the 1983 elections.[6] He would hold this seat as part of the PRI through 2 more elections until 1992.[7][8] During this time he would propose several laws in Italy related to the rules and regulations of the healthcare system.[9][10]

He would go on, with his wife Carla Mazzuca Poggiolini to run under the Segni Pact, with him seeking office in the European Parliament in 1994.[3][11] While there he would act as Vice Chair of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection along with serving on the EU's delegations to Russia, African, Caribbean and Pacific states (ACP), and China; the latter two he occasionally acted as Vice Chair of.[3][11][12] During his tenure there he would ally himself with the European Peoples Party.[11] He garnered much attention for his report on Alzheimer's disease to the previously mentioned committee.[12]

Legacy

Despite leaving office many people in Italy's health sector still remember the power he wielded, with nicknames like the "king Midas of health care," not to be confused for Dulio Poggiolini, whether for better or worse.[13]

His name would even be brought up when some of his ideas and proposals would be revived for a vote after he had already left the Chamber of Deputies.[4]
