About Giovanni Leone

Giovanni Leone (3 November 1908 – 9 November 2001) was an Italian politician, jurist and university professor. A founding member of the Christian Democracy (DC), Leone served as the sixth president of Italy from December 1971 until June 1978.

He also briefly served as the 37th Prime Minister from June to December 1963 and again from June to December 1968. He was also President of the Chamber of Deputies from May 1955 until June 1963.

Leone was the first Italian president to resign for a scandal. In 1978, he was accused of bribery amid the Lockheed scandal; however the allegations were later declared false and Leone was completely rehabilitated.
