Pietro Bertolini (born July 24, 1859 in Montebelluna , † November 28, 1920 in Turin ) was a politician in the Kingdom of Italy who was a member of the Chamber of Deputies ( Camera dei deputati ) and was a minister several times.
Life
Pietro Bertolini succeeded Clarimbaldo Cornuda as mayor (Sindaco) of the city of Montebelluna in the province of Treviso in 1886 and held this office until 1890, when Gio Batta Dall'Armi succeeded him in 1891. On December 10, 1890, he became a member of the Chamber of Deputies ( Camera dei deputati ) for the first time and belonged to it from the 17th to the 24th legislative period, which ended on September 29, 1919. In the Crispi IV cabinet , he served between June 21, 1894 and March 10, 1896 as Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Finance (Sottosegretario: Ministero delle Finanze) . In the Pelloux II cabinet he took on the post of Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of the Interior on May 14, 1899 (Sottosegretario: Ministero dell'Interno) and held this position until June 24, 1900. He was later from April 4, 1906 to November 9, 1907 member of the supervisory committee for the library of the Chamber of Deputies (Commissione di vigilanza sulla biblioteca della Camera) . He was a member of the Giunta generale del bilancio e dei conti amministrativi from December 7, 1904 to November 9, 1907. Because of his appointment as minister, he resigned from both parliamentary bodies.
Bertolini then became Minister for Public Works (Ministro dei Lavori Pubblici) in the Giolitti III cabinet on November 9, 1907 and held this ministerial office until December 11, 1909. From February 17, 1910 to November 20, 1912 he was again a member of the Board of Directors for the library of the Chamber of Deputies and from May 13, 1911 to November 20, 1912 also the Giunta generale del bilancio e dei conti amministrativi . On November 20, 1912, he took over the office of Minister for the Colonies (Ministro delle Colonie), newly created by Royal Decree (Regio Decreto) No. 1205 of November 20, 1912, in the Giolitti IV cabinet and held this office until March 21, 1914 . He belonged to the so-called Gruppo veneziano , a group of predominantly Venetian financiers, industrialists and politicians who, under the leadership of Giuseppe Volpi and Vittorio Cini , had a considerable influence on domestic, economic, colonial and foreign policy in Italy between around 1900 and 1945. When negotiations about the Libyan War were to come about in 1912, Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti elected Volpi and Pietro Bertolini for the conference of Ouchy . Gaetano Salvemini recognized in Volpi the “principale deus ex machina” of the treaties. Like Giolitti, he also advocated neutrality for Italy in order to avoid entry into the First World War .
In 1920 Pietro Bertolini was nominated for a seat in the Senate ( Senato del Regno ) , but died before he was sworn in as a member of the Upper House of Parliament.
