Gaetano Gifuni (25 June 1932 – 18 August 2018) was an Italian civil servant and politician who served as Secretary General of the President from 1992 to 2006 and as Minister for Relations with the Parliament in 1987.[1]
He is the father of actor Fabrizio Gifuni and uncle of Luigi Tripodi, former head of the Quirinale Estate and Gardens Service.
He graduated in law in 1955 and was hired by Confindustria.
On 1 January 1959, thanks to the passing of the relative competition, he entered the administration of the Senate of the Republic, of which he was appointed Secretary General on 26 June 1975.
In 1987 he served as Minister for Parliamentary Relations in the Fanfani VI Government (from 17 April to 27 July 1987).
Returning to the administrative top of the Senate of the Republic after the brief government break, he was appointed Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic by Oscar Luigi Scalfaro on 28 May 1992.
He was confirmed in this latter office by the subsequent President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi in 1999. From 1992 to 2008 he was a member of the Council of State. In 2006, on the eve of the inauguration of the new President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano, he gave up to continue running the Quirinale machine under the latter's mandate and therefore has been Secretary General emeritus ever since.
He died in Rome on 18 August 2018, at the age of 86.[2]
