Early life and education

Career

Bardi joined the Guardia di Finanza in 1970. He was promoted colonel on 31 December 1995 and later army corps general in 2009. He served as deputy General Commander of the Guardia di Finanza from 5 September 2013 to 4 September 2014.[1]

At the 2019 Basilicata regional election, Bardi was appointed by Silvio Berlusconi as the centre-right coalition candidate for the office of president of Basilicata, supported by Forza Italia, the League, and Brothers of Italy.[2] Initially a political independent, Bardi joined Forza Italia. Bardi managed to win the elections and became the first right-wing president of Basilicata in 49 years and after 24 uninterrupted years of centre-left coalition leadership; due to the centre-left rooting in the region, Basilicata has been described as the political equivalent of the left-wing Emilia-Romagna region in Southern Italy. Bardi did not vote because he resides in Naples, in the Campania region.[3]

Approval ratings of Bardi oscillated during his presidency, from as low as 73 percent of disapproval (including undecided) to as high as 54.9 percent of approval. In 2021, he was considered the least popular president of a region.[4][5] In 2023, he recovered some popularity,[6] raising to 14th place from 40.5 percent to 47.5 percent in July 2023,[7] and coming to being the fifth most popular regional president by December 2023.[8][9][10] After some negotiations, Bardi was confirmed as the centre-right coalition candidate for the 2024 Basilicata regional election.[11][12]
