Giorgio Napolitano was born on 29 June 1925 in Naples. An Italian politician, Napolitano was a member of the Communist Party for much of his career and later moved toward the social-democratic mainstream. He served as a member of parliament for decades, as President of the Chamber of Deputies and as interior minister, before being elected President of Italy in 2006. In 2013 he became the first president to be re-elected to a second term, accepting after parliament failed to agree on a successor. He steered the country through the 2011 sovereign-debt crisis, which saw Silvio Berlusconi replaced by the technocratic government of Mario Monti.
