Adone Zoli (December 16, 1887February 20, 1960) was an Italian politician of the Christian Democratic Party. He was Prime Minister of Italy from 1957-58.

[edit] Biography

Zoli was born in Cesena, in the province of Forlì.

He was elected to the Italian Chamber of Deputies from 1948 to 1958. He was Minister of Justice in 1951 in the Alcide De Gasperi's 8th government, Minister of the Economical Balance in 1954 under Amintore Fanfani and again under the first government led by Antonio Segni.

In 1957 he became Prime Minister of a government basing also on the votes of the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement. This created some embarrass, being Zoli an old anti-fascist. He resigned, but was convinced by president Giovanni Gronchi to hold the charge until the natural dissolvment of the Italian Parliament in 1958.

Zoli died in 1960.
