Sergio Mattarella was born on 23 July 1941 in Palermo. An Italian jurist and politician, Mattarella was elected President of Italy in 2015 and re-elected in 2022 after parliament failed to agree on a successor. Trained as a law professor, he entered politics with the Christian Democrats, served as a minister of education and defense, and later became a judge on the Constitutional Court. His brother Piersanti, then president of Sicily, was murdered by the Mafia in 1980.
