Guido De Martino (born Somma Vesuviana,22 August 1943) is a former Italian politician of the Italian Socialist Party. He is also the son of the late socialist politician Francesco De Martino and was kidnapped for 40 days in 1977 by the Camorra.

While serving as secretary of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) in Naples,De Martino was kidnapped in Naples on 5 April 1977.

[3] [7] He was only freed after a one billion lire ransom,that was raised by the party,was paid to the perpetrators. [6] [8] [9] It would later be revealed that some of the funds the party had provided were attained through kidnappings done by the Red Brigades.
