Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli on
Monday passed his final exam at Rome's La Sapienza University
ahead of gaining his philosophy degree.
The exam was in theory of theological doctrines and Giuli
obtained a 30/30 mark without the laude (honours).
"The exam went very well, the minister was extremely well
prepared", said professor Gaetano Lettieri who tested him,
adding that Giuli, a journalist, spoke for about 30 minutes
during the oral exam.
Lettieri said Giuli had signed up for the exam before becoming
minister earlier this month after the resignation of Gennaro
Sangiuliano.
The culture minister, who previously headed Rome's MAXXI
contemporary art museum, will present a thesis on Constantine to
obtain his degree.
MEanwhile on Monday students with La Sapienza's left-wing
Collective Cambiamo Rotta staged a protest against Giuli's
presence at the department saying it was an "insult to the
faculty, where two antifascist students were killed", given his
"historical and political roots connected to Meridiano zero", a
far-right group.
