Biography

After graduating in Law at the University of Milan, Del Bono entered into politics being elected city councilor of Brescia, being very close to former minister and then Mayor Mino Martinazzoli.[1] From 1993 to 1994, Del Bono has been the provincial secretary of the Christian Democracy in the province of Brescia, and then he is appointed the provincial secretary of the Italian People's Party.[1]

In the 1996 general election, Del Bono was elected to the Chamber of Deputies with the Olive Tree, being later re-elected in the 2001 and the 2006 election.

In 2008, Del Bono decided not to run in the 2008 general election since he became the Democratic Party candidate for the office of Mayor of Brescia[2] but was defeated by the People of Freedom candidate Adriano Paroli.

In 2013 Del Bono challenged once again Paroli for the office of Mayor of Brescia and managed to win on the runoff.[3] Ha has been re-elected Mayor on the first round in the 2018 local elections.[4]
