Giuseppe Conte (Italian pronunciation: [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈkonte]; born 8 August 1964) is an Italian jurist and politician. A professor of private law, he was proposed, in May 2018, for the role of Prime Minister at the head of a coalition between the Five Star Movement and League. However, Conte resigned his position after Paolo Savona, his pick for finance minister, was vetoed by President Sergio Mattarella.
Giuseppe Conte was born in Volturara Appula, near Foggia, in 1964. Raised in a middle-class family, his father Nicola was a public employee in the local municipality, while his mother Lillina Roberti was an elementary school teacher.
Conte attended the classical lyceum in San Giovanni Rotondo and then studied Law at the La Sapienza University of Rome, where he graduated in 1988 with distinction. For short terms, Conte studied abroad, in 1992 he moved to the United States to study at Yale Law School and Duquesne University and at the International Culture Institute in Vienna in 1993; later he attended the Sorbonne University in 2000, the Girton College, Cambridge in 2001 and claimed to study at the New York University in 2008. However, in May 2018 the The New York Times asserted that New York University reported it had no record of him attending, either as a student or a professor.
