Biography
Oscar Giannino was born in Turin, the capital city of Piedmont, Italy. He soon started his career as journalist. In 1984 he became a member of the national leadership of the Italian Republican Party, until 1994. On August 2012 Giannino founded the movement Act to Stop the Decline and in December he announced that he would run to become Prime Minister (Capo della forza politica) with his movement, during the 2013 Italian election. He stepped down from the presidency (presidente del partito) of his movement after it was discovered that he had fabricated his résumé by adding false academic claims, such as a Law degree in Italy and a Master Degree in corporate finance and public finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business:[1][2] the deception was discovered by the party co-founder and Giannino's colleague Luigi Zingales,[2] professor at the Booth School of Business, who left the political association.[1]
