Political life

Vizzini was Secretary of the Italian Democratic Socialist Party from 1992 to 1993, Minister of Mails, and Minister for Cultural Assets and Activities (1987–88), and was a member of the Italian Senate from Sicily for Forza Italia and latterly The People of Freedom (PdL).

He was a member of the Italian Antimafia Commission from 2001-2009. In 2008 he became vice president of the Commission, but relinquished his position in June 2009 after being accused of having been bribed by Massimo Ciancimino, the son of Vito Ciancimino, former mayor of Palermo convicted for membership of the Mafia. He is charged with aiding and abetting Cosa Nostra.^[1]

In November 2011 Vizzini left the PdL and joined the Italian Socialist Party.^[2]^[3]
