Giovanni Fava

Career as politician

Elected as a member of Montecitorio (the Italian Chamber of Deputies) in the 2006 general election who took place on 9–10 April 2006, Giovanni Fava was proclaimed MP on 28 April 2006 (this term officially ended on 28 April 2008). Re-elected in the 2008 general election who took part on 13–14 April 2008, Fava was proclaimed MP on 29 April 2008 (this term officially ended on 14 March 2013). Re-elected also in the 2013 general election who took place on 24–25 February 2013, Fava was proclaimed MP on 5 March 2013 and officially started the new legislature on 15 March, but on 19 March Fava was nominated by Roberto Maroni (elected President of Lombardy in the 2013 Regional election who took place on 24–25 February 2013, Maroni sworn in office on 18 March) as new Regional (Lombardy) minister of Agriculture: according to the Italian electoral law, within 3 months since the proclamation a politician must choose between the Regional politics (as Regional Councilor or as Regional Minister) and the National politics (as MP). Consequently, on 4 June 2013 (one day before the quarterly expiry date) Fava resigned from Montecitorio because he preferred the Regional politics and Fava's seat in Montecitorio passed to the former MP Andrea Angelo Gibelli (that resigned on 5 June 2013 because he preferred the Regional politics and that seat in Montecitorio immediately passed to the Comunal Councilor of San Rocco al Porto Guido Guidesi, for the first time elected MP. Guidesi was officially proclaimed MP on 5 June 2013). Fava in 1993–2001 was the Mayor of Pomponesco. With the end of Maroni's Presidency, Fava in March 2018 left his office as Regional (Lombardy) minister of Agriculture.
