Emilio De Rose (27 March 1939 – 13 June 2018)[1] was an Italian dermatologist and socialist politician who served as the minister of public works for one year in the period 1987–1988. For most of his career, he was a member of the Italian Democratic Socialist Party (Partito Socialista Democratico Italiano; PSDI).

Biography

[edit]

De Rose was born in Marano Marchesato, Cosenza, Calabria, on 27 March 1939.[1][2] He worked in Verona as a physician.[2] He had been a member of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI), but resigned from the party and joined the PSDI.[3] From 1975 to April 1978 he was a PSDI municipal councilor in Verona.[2]

He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the PSDI in 1983 and 1987.[4] He served as the minister of public works from July 1987 to March 1988 in the cabinet led by Prime Minister Giovanni Goria.[2] Within the PSDI, De Rose was a member of the current that advocated reunification with the Italian Socialist Party, and in early 1989 he followed Pier Luigi Romita and Pietro Longo into a new political formation, the Movement of Unity and Socialist Democracy (Movimento di Unità e Democrazia Socialista; UDS), which later that year was absorbed by the PSI. De Rose himself became a member of the Chamber's PSI group on 4 January 1990.[1] He was not re-elected to the Chamber in the following general election and returned to his profession as a dermatologist.[4]

Views and arrest

[edit]

De Rose was a declared Freemason, being a member of a city lodge named after Franklin D. Roosevelt.[2] In April 1993 De Rosa was arrested in Verona due to accusations of abusing power whilst serving as a member of parliament and as a member of the executive of the PSDI.[4] He was jailed for fifteen days and later acquitted of all charges in November 2003.[5]

Death

[edit]

De Rose died in Verona in June 2018.[2] A funeral ceremony was held in Sant’Eufemia on 13 June.[2]
