Maurizio Enzo Lupi (born 3 October 1959) is an Italian politician. He served as minister of infrastructure and transport between 28 April 2013 and 20 March 2015.

Early life and education[edit]

Lupi was born in Milan, Italy, on 3 October 1959.[1][2] He has a degree in political science at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.[2]

Career[edit]

Lupi served as a member of the municipal council of Milan from 1993 to 1997 and until 1996 he was vice president of the council.[3] He has been a member of the Italian parliament since the XIV legislative period or 2001.[1][3]

He served as deputy house speaker until 28 April 2013 when he was appointed minister of infrastructure and transport in the Letta cabinet.[4][5] He replaced Corrado Passera in the post.[6] Lupi joined the New Centre-Right formed by Angelino Alfano in November 2013.[7][8] Lupi continued to serve as the minister of infrastructure and transport in the cabinet formed by Matteo Renzi in February 2014.[9]

Resignation[edit]

On 19 March 2015 Lupi announced that he would step down as minister on the following day due to a scandal involving public works on infrastructure in which his name was cited several times.[10] His tenure as infrastructure and transport minister ended the next day when he resigned from the post, and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi accepted it.[11]

Personal life and views[edit]

Lupi is married and has three children.[3]

In the Letta cabinet, Lupi was one of two members of the Catholic movement Communion and Liberation.[12] He is a strong supporter of the TAV project that would connect Italy and France via high-speed rail.[13]
