Gianfranco Rotondi (born 25 July 1960 in Avellino, Campania.

Graduated in law and journalist by profession,^[1] Rotondi was elected to the Regional Council of Campania in 1990 for Christian Democracy (DC). After DC's dissolution, he continued to be active in Christian-democratic parties, first of all the Italian People's Party.

In 2001 Rotondi was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the centre-right House of Freedoms coalition in the single-seat constituency of Rho, Lombardy and he has since been elected either to the Chamber or the Senate for centre-right parties. Hailing from the United Christian Democrats, Rotondi was originally affiliated to the so-called White Flower alliance, which later evolved into the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC).

In 2005 Rotondi left UDC over disagreements about the relationship with Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia, which Rotondi wanted to be closer. He then established a new party strongly inspired on Christian ideals and the defunct DC, namely Christian Democracy for Autonomies (DCA), which ran in a joint list with the New Italian Socialist Party in 2006. In 2009 the DCA was merged into The People of Freedom (PdL) and Rotondi was appointed Minister without Portfolio for the Implementation of the Government Program in Berlusconi's government, a position he held until 2011. Within the PdL and, later, the new Forza Italia, Rotondi established an associate party named Christian Revolution.^[2]

In 2021–2022 Rotondi launched a new party named Green is Popular, combining Christian democracy and green conservatism.^[3] Soon after that, he ended his alliance with Forza Italia and joined forces with Brothers of Italy (FdI).^[4] In 2003 Rotondi established a new full-fledged Christian-democratic party, Christian Democracy with Rotondi,^[5] which continued to be aligned with FdI.
