Roberto Ernesto Maroni (Italian pronunciation: [roˈbɛrto maˈroːni]; born 15 March 1955) is an Italian politician from Varese, current President of Lombardy since 2013. He is a leader of the Northern League (Italian: Lega Nord or Lega), a party seeking autonomy or independence for Northern Italy or Padania. From 1992-2013 he was a Member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Republic, always elected in Lombard constituencies. He was Interior Minister of the Italian Republic from 1994-95, and from 2008-11.
In 1979, Maroni received a law degree with a dissertation in Civil Law, from the University of Milan. He became a lawyer after spending two years working as a Legal Affairs Manager for various companies.
In 1990, he was elected Province Secretary of the Northern League in Varese. He also became a town councilor in Varese that year. Two years later, he was elected Chairman of the Northern League Parliamentary Group. He also entered the party's Federal Council and campaigned heavily for the Northern League prior to Berlusconi's first Cabinet.
He also served as Minister of the Interior during the first Silvio Berlusconi cabinet, from 1994 to 1995. He also served as Minister of Labour and Welfare from 2001 to May 2006 in Berlusconi's second and third cabinets.
