The Profile

Italian politician and author; began his political activity in the PCI, later collaborated with Silvio Berlusconi in Forza Italia and Popolo della Libertà; served as Minister of Cultural Heritage (resigned 2011) and has written on cultural policy.

Former Minister of Cultural Heritage (2008–2011); long-time collaborator of Silvio Berlusconi; author of La Cultura E' Libertà; described in reviews as a bibliophile and poet.

De Lorenzo's review presents Sandro Bondi's La Cultura E' Libertà as an elegant, balanced reflection on Italy's cultural divisions. The book argues that culture has become an object of partisan struggle, tracing shifts from early 20th-century unity to postwar ideological contest. Bondi's personal political journey from the PCI to collaboration with Berlusconi is noted. The review praises Bondi's language and calls for renewed dialogue on cultural policy.

Notable Quotes

❝ Sandro Bondi is a political figure and intellectual who needs no introduction: once a local administrator for the PCI, he gradually distanced himself from the positions of the maximalist left starting in the second half of the 1980s, coinciding with the fall of the illiberal regimes of Eastern Europe, gradually embracing a liberal-democratic position, fulfilled in his long collaboration with Silvio Berlusconi, both in Forza Italia and in Popolo della Libertà, in which he is currently a Senator.
