Nino Cristofori (31 July 1930 – 14 March 2015) was an Italian politician. He was a member of the Chamber for seven legislatures, from 1968 to 1993.

Biography
[edit]Cristofori was born in Ferrara in 1930.[1][2] He started his career as a journalist when he became the publisher and editor-in-chief of a newspaper entitled Avvenire Padano.[1] Then he served in different confederations in Ferrera.[1]
Cristofori was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies on 19 May 1968 and served there for five terms.[1] He was Giulio Andreotti's aide[3] and his emissary to Emilia-Romagna.[2] In 1990 Cristofori was the deputy minister of defense.[4] He also served as minister of labor and social security in the cabinet led by Prime Minister Giuliano Amato between 1992 and 1993.[5][6] On that occasion, he resigned as a deputy in compliance with an internal provision of his party that suggested ministers to free themselves from the parliamentary mandate.[1]
He was a member of the National Council of Christian Democracy and, after its dissolution, of the Italian People's Party, from 1996 to 1999.[1] He subsequently participated in the establishment of European Democracy, which merged in 2002 into the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats, of which he became national councilor.[1]
Personal life and death
[edit]Cristofori was married to Carla Calessi with whom he had six children.[7][8] In addition to the political and journalistic activities he was president of the Italian Boxing League.[1] His daughter, Paola, is married to Tiziano Tagliani who was mayor of Ferrara in 2015.[8]
Cristofori died in Ferrara on 14 March 2015[9] at 84 years old.[9] His requiem mass was said by Archbishop Luigi Negri of Ferrara.
