Biography

[edit]

Reale was born in Lecce on 24 October 1902.[1][2] He received a degree in law.[2]

He was a member and the head of the Republican Party.[3][4] He served as the secretary of the party.[5] In the 1970s he tried the French model to reorganize the party for which he set up a committee.[6]

Reale also assumed cabinet posts. On 4 December 1963, he became justice minister of Italy.[2] He was reappointed justice minister to the coalition government led by Prime Minister Aldo Moro on 24 February 1966.[7] His term ended on 24 June 1968.[2] Then Reale served as the minister of finance from 12 December 1968 to 5 August 1969.[2]

He was secondly appointed justice minister on 27 March 1970 and served in the post until March 1971.[4] His third and last term as justice minister was from 23 November 1974 to 12 February 1976.[2] During his third term as justice minister, Reale developed a public law order, called Legge Reale or more formally public law order 152 which was introduced on 22 May 1975 as a response to bombings organized by right-wing groups in Brescia.[8] The law expanded the powers of Italian security forces.[8][9]

Reale died on 14 July 1988, aged 85.[2][10]
