Biography

Daughter of the former leader of the Italian Social Movement Pino Rauti, she graduated in Letters and in Pedagogy at the LUMSA University in Rome, obtaining a few time later a PhD in Pedagogy.

Political career

When she was very young, she joined the Italian Social Movement. In 1995, with the end of the party, she followed her father in the far-right party Tricolour Flame, with which she ran for the office of Mayor of Rome at the 2001 local elections: she ranked sixth and was not elected. Three years later, in 2004, she joined Gianfranco Fini's National Alliance.

After AN merged into The People of Freedom, Rauti has been elected to the regional council of Lazio at the 2010 regional election, supporting the centre-right candidate Renata Polverini, who is elected President of Lazio.[1]

With the end of PdL, Rauti joined Giorgia Meloni's right-wing party Brothers of Italy, with which she is elected to the Italian Senate at the 2018 general election, representing the single-member district of Mantua.[2]

Personal life

Rauti has been married with former Mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno from 1992 to 2018.[3] The couple has a son, Manfredi, born in 1995.
