Above, we have (the titles above are incorrect)
Minister of Justice - Paola Severino - Lawyer, Four time Vice President of the Council of Military Magistrates, with a stellar defense career, she has been listed as one of the richest public officials.
Minister of the Interior - Anna Maria Cancellieri - Commissioner of Parma, Bologna, et.al., Prefect & Sub-Commissioner of Milano.
Welfare Minister - Elsa Fornero - Economist, specialized in pensions, & Prof of Policy & Economics, Vice Pres on the oversight board of one of Italy's top banks, Intesa Sanpaolo & advisor for Russia & E. European banks
Below, our previous ministers:
Minister of Tourism (Italy's most important industry) - Michela Vittoria Brambilla - Former model, Voted Miss Elegance for Emilia, worked for Mediaset (Berlusconi's TV co.) - Studied some philosophy & obtained journalist credentials
Minister of Education - Mariastella Gelmini - Graduate in Law/Administration outside track, President of the City Board of Desenzano del Garda (a small tourist hamlet)
Minister for Equal Opportunity - Mara Carfagna - Former topless model, ballerina & voted Miss Cinema at the Miss Italy contest - Graduated with honors in jurisprudence before working on Berlusconi's campaign in Campania.
Let's just hope that these women with the credentials can now be the ones to turn heads.

Amen!
I hear you!
Brava: finalmente "DONNE"
not too good though that in 2012 you have to be ugly to be credible in the eyes of men
Today, the Minister of Equal Opportunities met with a group of "Young Businessmen", men being the operative word... And she let them know that a country which marginalizes women starting with the young people would be "going nowhere fast".
''Come ministro delle pari opportunita' - ha detto Fornero, anche titolare del Welfare - devo sottolineare che se neanche i giovani hanno la consapevolezza che il contributo delle donne deve essere valorizzato non si va da nessuna parte'' ha detto stigmatizzando tale atteggiamento come ''culturalmente sbagliato''.
I hang my head. I cringe when I see female television journalists dressed like they're teenagers in a disco (next to their male counterparts in business suits), and when I see girls in bikinis dancing on comedy shows. It bothers me so much I can't even articulate it well; it's visceral. Anyway, good post!!
