List of Italian religious minority politicians


This is a list of Italian politicians belonging to a religious minority, different from the dominant Roman Catholicism.

To ensure notability, only leading politicians (ministers, deputies, senators, MEPs, regional councillors, mayors of big cities, etc.) are included in the list. Active politicians and their current parties are shown in bold. The parties of which these people have been members are listed in chronological order.

Some of the politicians included in the list are lapsed, nominal or former believers, but all have retained their ethnic-religious background.

"Right" refers to a politician from the Historical Right (referred also as Liberal Conservatives) of Camillo Benso di Cavour and Bettino Ricasoli, "Left" to one from the Historical Left (a.k.a. Democrats) of Agostino Depretis and Francesco Crispi, "Lib" to the Liberals led by Giovanni Giolitti and Giuseppe Zanardelli, and "Lib-Con" to the Liberal Conservatives whose leader was Sidney Sonnino. "Indep" indicates a politician unaffiliated to any party and acting as an Independent.

Waldensians and Methodists are listed together because in Italy they are united within the Union of Methodist and Waldensian Churches.
