Nicola Zingaretti (Italian pronunciation: [niˈkɔːla ddziŋɡaˈretti]; born 11 October 1965) is an Italian politician who served as President of Lazio from March 2013 to November 2022 and was Secretary of the Democratic Party from March 2019 until March 2021.[1][2][3]

During the 1990s, he was a prominent European youth leader, serving as National Secretary of the Left Youth, the youth-wing of the Democratic Party of the Left and as President of the International Union of Socialist Youth.[4] In 2004, Zingaretti became a Member of the European Parliament for the centre-left coalition The Olive Tree.[5] From 2008 to 2012, he served as President of the Province of Rome.[6]

Zingaretti is considered a social democrat and one of the most prominent members of the party's left-wing.[7] Moreover, he is the longest-serving President of Lazio as well as the first one to be re-elected after a first five-year term.[8]

He is the brother of the actor Luca Zingaretti, who plays Salvo Montalbano in the Inspector Montalbano television series.
