Biography

Dalla Chiesa is the son of General Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, notable for campaigning against terrorism, and the brother of the TV presenter Rita Dalla Chiesa and the journalist and politician Simona Dalla Chiesa. His father was assassinated in 1982 together with his second wife, Emanuela Setti Carraro.

Dalla Chiesa graduated in economics at the Bocconi University in Milan and became a university professor{{ambiguous|date=January 2024}} of sociology of organized crime, business management and communication and sociology of the organization at the University of Milan.{{cite news |url=https://www.corriere.it/cultura/18_marzo_05/libro-nando-dalla-chiesa-bompiani-sociologo-e69ea22c-2097-11e8-a659-e0c6f75db7be_preview.shtml?reason=unauthenticated&cat=1&cid=IOyk6Tw_&pids=FR&origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.corriere.it%2Fcultura%2F18_marzo_05%2Flibro-nando-dalla-chiesa-bompiani-sociologo-e69ea22c-2097-11e8-a659-e0c6f75db7be.shtml |title=Nando dalla Chiesa e la scuola: insegno come agisce la mafia |author=Corrado Stajano |work=Corriere della Sera |date=5 March 2018 |access-date=30 October 2018 |language=it |trans-title=Nando dalla Chiesa and the school: I teach how the mafia works}} He is also honorary president of Luigi Ciotti's Libera association.{{cite web |url=http://www.libera.it/schede-539-assemblea_nazionale_di_libera_le_nuove_nomine |title=Assemblea Nazionale di Libera: Don Luigi Ciotti confermato presidente nazionale |publisher=Libera |date=24 June 2018 |access-date=30 October 2018 |language=it |trans-title=National Assembly of Libera: Don Luigi Ciotti confirmed national president}}

= Political career =

In 1992, Dalla Chiesa joined Leoluca Orlando's new-born left-wing party The Network, for which he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies at the 1992 general election.{{cite news |url=https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1991/01/25/debutta-la-rete-di-orlando-primo-obiettivo.html |title=Debutta La Rete di Orlando 'Primo obiettivo la pace' |work=La Repubblica |date=25 January 1991 |access-date=30 October 2018 |language=it |trans-title=The Orlando Network debuts 'Peace's first objective}}

In the 1993 local elections, Dalla Chiesa ran for the office of mayor of Milan, supported by his party, by the Democratic Party of the Left, the Communist Refoundation Party and the Federation of the Greens. He reached the runoff, but was defeated by the Northern League candidate, Marco Formentini.{{cite news |url=https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1993/05/05/formentini-dalla-chiesa-sara-il-duello.html |title=Formentini - Dalla Chiesa sarà il duello di Milano |work=La Repubblica |date=5 May 1993 |access-date=30 October 2018 |language=it |trans-title=Formentini - Dalla Chiesa will be the duel in Milan}}

Dalla Chiesa was not re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1994 general election and decided to leave The Network.{{cite news |url=https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1994/04/15/questa-rete-perdente.html |title='Questa Rete è perdente...' |work=La Repubblica |date=15 April 1994 |access-date=30 October 2018 |language=it |trans-title='This network is a loser...'}} He returned to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1996 general election, being elected as an independent in the Federation of the Greens with the support of The Olive Tree coalition.

When in 1998 the first D'Alema cabinet was sworn in, Dalla Chiesa refrained from voting for trust because the government was also supported by Francesco Cossiga with whom dalla Chiesa had a bad relationship, since he accused the former president of Italy of raising many malevolences against his father when he was prefect in Palermo.{{cite news |url=https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2012/01/13/cossiga-statista-eversivo-visto-da-nando-dalla.html |title=Cossiga statista 'eversivo' visto da Nando dalla Chiesa |work=La Repubblica |date=13 January 2012 |access-date=30 October 2018 |language=it |trans-title=Cossiga 'subversive' statesman seen by Nando dalla Chiesa}}

In 2000, he became the coordinator in Lombardy of Arturo Parisi's The Democrats and, in the 2001 general election, he was elected to the Senate.{{cite news |url=https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2001/06/05/nando-dalla-chiesa-sociologo-gia-da-un.html?ref=search |title=Nando dalla Chiesa, sociologo: Già da un anno era in atto il salto sul carro del vincitore |work=La Repubblica |date=5 June 2001 |access-date=30 October 2018 |language=it |trans-title=Nando dalla Chiesa, sociologist: The leap onto the winner's bandwagon had already been underway for a year}} In 2002, The Democrats and the Italian People's Party merged into The Daisy.

Dalla Chiesa did not run for a parliamentary seat again in the 2006 general election, but after the win of The Union he was appointed undersecretary for universities and scientific research in the second Prodi Cabinet.{{cite news |url=http://www.repubblica.it/2006/05/dirette/sezioni/politica/nuovogoverno/listaministri/index.html |title=Il governo Prodi ha giurato.

= Writing career =

Dalla Chiesa has written several books and essays about politics and the fight against organized crime in Italy. Among his most known works is the 1992 book Il giudice ragazzino (The Boy Judge), a tribute essay dedicated to Rosario Livatino, a young Sicilian judge who had been murdered by the Mafia in 1990. In telling the experience and the tragic end of Livatino, dalla Chiesa reconstructs his vision of the connection between the Mafia, politics and institutions in Sicily and Italy in the late 1980s, indicating the murder of the judge as one of the highest triumphs of criminal powers.{{cite web |url=https://www.linkiesta.it/it/article/2013/09/21/cosa-insegna-oggi-il-giudice-ragazzino/16503/ |title=Cosa insegna oggi il "giudice ragazzino" |work=Linkiesta |date=21 September 2013 |access-date=30 October 2018 |language=it |trans-title=What the "boy judge" teaches today}}

The 1994 film Law of Courage is based on Dalla Chiesa's book.
