Carmelo Conte (born 1938) is an Italian lawyer and socialist politician who served as the minister for urban areas problems for three terms.
Conte was born in Piaggine, Salerno, on 9 November 1938.[1][2] He has a bachelor's degree in law.[1] He was a member of the Italian Socialist Party.[3] He was first elected to the Italian Parliament in 1979 for the Italian Socialist Party from Benevento.[1] He served in the Parliament for three more terms until 1994.[2][3] Patrick McCarthy, an American scholar, argues that Conte created a nepotic network in his election region based in Salerno like other leading socialist politicians of the period.[4]
Conte was appointed minister without portfolio for urban problems on 22 July 1989 to the sixth cabinet of Giulio Andreotti.[3] He also held the post in the next cabinet of Giulio Andreotti and in the first cabinet of Giuliano Amato.[5] Conte's term ended on 28 April 1993.[5]
Conte has been the author of several books[2] last of which was published in 2019.[6]
