  • Giuseppe Conte (Italian pronunciation: [d?u'z?ppe 'konte]; born 8 August 1964) is an Italian jurist and politician serving as the 58th and current Prime Minister of Italy since 1 June 2018.A professor of private law, Conte was first proposed on 21 May 2018 for the role of Prime Minister as the head of a coalition government between the Five Star Movement (M5S) and the League.
  • After the two parties agreed on a "government contract", Conte formed his first cabinet on 1 June 2018.On 20 August 2019, Conte offered his resignation as Prime Minister after the League filed in a motion of no-confidence against its own government.
  • Subsequently, the M5S and the centre-left Democratic Party agreed to form a new coalition government with Conte remaining in his position as Prime Minister.
  • He was reappointed as Prime Minister of his second cabinet on 5 September.
  • Conte became the first person in the history of the Italian Republic to lead governments in the same legislature, both with the right-wing and the left-wing.Conte's first Cabinet, which included Five Star's leader Luigi Di Maio and the League's leader Matteo Salvini, was considered by many newspapers such as The New York Times and la Repubblica as the first populist government in modern Western Europe.
  • Moreover, he was the first person to assume the premiership without prior government or administrative service since Silvio Berlusconi in 1994 and the first Prime Minister from Southern Italy since the Christian Democrat Ciriaco De Mita in 1989.
