Gianpiero D'Alia (born 22 September 1966) is an Italian politician.
Gianpiero D'Alia was born on 22 September 1966 in Messina. His father was the former Christian Democracy (DC) deputy Salvatore D'Alia. He graduated in law at the University of Messina,and became a cassationist lawyer. [1]
D'Alia started his career among the ranks of the DC. When the DC was dissolved,he joined the Christian Democratic Centre (CCD). With the CCD,he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the first time in the 2001 Italian general election. He then joined the Union of the Centre (UdC) in 2002. In 2005,D'Alia became Undersecretary to the Ministry of the Interior in the third Berlusconi government. In the 2006 Italian general election,he was re-elected as a Deputy. He was elected in the constituency of Sicily a member of the Senate of the Republic in the 2008 Italian general election. In the 2013 Italian general election D’Alia was re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies and together with the other members of the UdC joined the Civic Choice (SC) group. In December 2013,he and the others left the SC group to found the new group called For Italy. On 22 March 2014,D’Alia was appointed as president of the UdC, [2] after losing the race for secretary against Lorenzo Cesa in the fourth national congress of the party. [3]
In 2015,D'Alia joined the Popular Area (AP) group,together with the other UdC deputies. On 2 November 2016,Cesa suspended D'Alia from the party and referred him to arbitrators,accusing him of highly offensive statements against the same party. He had declared a few days before "the UdC is dead". D'Alia left the UdC to launch Centrists for Sicily (CpS),a new party formed in the Sicilian Regional Assembly (ARS). In 2017,he became the coordinator of Centrists for Europe (CpE),the new party launched by Pier Ferdinando Casini. [4]

The Italian People's Party,the renamed Christian Democracy (DC),which had dominated Italian politics for almost half a century,was decimated.
