OccupationPolitician

Luigi Dari (11 December 1852 – 15 April 1919) was an Italian politician.[1][2] He held the position of mayor of Ancona four times.[3][2][4]

Ministerial career

He was Minister of Justice in the first Salandra government[5] and Minister of Public Works in the Orlando government.[1][6][7]

As Minister of Justice, Dari immediately presented to the Chamber a complex reform of the civil process, abolishing the single-judge courts introduced by the Law of 1912 and boosting the recruitment of magistrates to fill the chronic shortages in the judicial system. To address some of the longer-term problems in the system Dari established Commissions of the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate and the Supreme Court of Cassation. On 3 July 1914, an ambitious bill containing "provisions concerning the personnel of the Judiciary and judicial chancelleries" became law. All of this was achieved in just three months.[4]

When the Salandra government resigned, Dari wrote to the Prime Minister recommending the Sicilian Vittorio Emanuele Orlando as his successor. In November 1917 Orlando himself was forming a new government, and offered Dari the Ministry of Public Works. He assumed this responsibility at a time when the government was facing in the exceptional problems of war. Dari oversaw an energetic programme of infrastructure.[4]

On 18 January 1919, following the premature death of his wife Rina (with whom he had no children), Dari resigned from his post, and died himself only a few months later.[4]
