Graduated in Law, lawyer in the Supreme Court, Bruno approached
Silvio Berlusconi in 1978 and has always been a close friend of
Cesare Previti. In 1996 he was a candidate on the
Forza Italia lists with the promise of an appointment as undersecretary in case of victory, but with the success of the center-left he became a
Deputy of opposition. In 2001 he chaired the inquiry commission on the events of the
G8 in Genoa. In the same year he was elected President of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs and re-elected in 2008. He was in contention for the appointment as judge of the
Constitutional Court since 2008. In July 2011, following the announcement of the resignation of the
Minister of Justice Angelino Alfano, appointed secretary of the
People of Freedom, Bruno was among the candidates for his succession to the post of Minister of Justice; however, the choice ultimately fell on
Nitto Palma. In 2013 he was elected
Senator for the
PdL. After the split of
NCD he became vice-group in the Senate for
Forza Italia. In 2014 his name has been among the candidates to judge of the
Constitutional Court supported by center-right parties in ticket with the former magistrate and former President of the Chamber of Deputies
Luciano Violante supported by the
Democratic Party. However, despite Bruno has been able to gather a stronger consensus, both him and Violante didn't manage to get elected. He died on 17 August 2015, after suffering a
cerebral ischemia. == References ==
