Maurizio Fugatti. Trentino deputy Maurizio Fugatti, 46, elected to Montecitorio in the single-member constituency of Pergine Valsugana in Trentino. Born in Bussolengo in the province of Verona on 7 April 1972, he has a degree in political science. He had already had experience in previous legislatures during the second Prodi government (2006-2008) and the third Berlusconi (2008-2011). He was appointed Undersecretary of Health. What earned him the nomination was most likely the battles waged in Trentino to "save" the birth points in the peripheral hospitals of Trentino. Fugatti was sworn in today afternoon, Wednesday 13 June, together with 6 deputy ministers and 39 undersecretaries. Together with him, Armando Bartolazzi, medical director of the Pathological Anatomy and Histology Unit of the Sant'Andrea University Hospital in Rome, was appointed undersecretary for the M5S.“
Armando Bartolazzi, born in 1961, he had been proposed by the 5 Star Movement as a possible health minister shortly before the elections of March 4, 2018. With his name gone in favor of Giulia Grillo, Bertolazzi was therefore chosen to fill the role of undersecretary. Specialized in oncology and pathologist, experiences in Italy and abroad (from the Ifo Regina Elena to the HMs in Boston to the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm), already as a potential minister he underlined his very practical vision of the problems to be solved. «Previous experiences and my structured research mentality - he explained - have provided me with the necessary tools to be able to identify the existing critical issues in our healthcare and research structures and to try to correct them to obtain a true healthcare service of sustainable excellence. I am not a politician – he specified – I am someone who identifies critical issues and tries to resolve them by looking at the interlocutors in the face».
It is also reported Massimo Garavaglia, former coordinator of the sectoral committee of the Regions for health, who will hold the role of deputy minister of the economy together with the pentastellata Laura Castelli.
