About Umberto Bossi

Umberto Bossi is an Italian politician and former leader of Lega Nord, a party seeking autonomy or independence for Northern Italy or Padania. He is married to the Sicilian Manuela Marrone, and has four sons, of whom one was from his first wife. He is currently the League's federal president, an honorary title devoid of real power, and is trying to regain the leadership of the movement he founded. He was instrumental in the unexpected victory of Silvio Berlusconi's coalition in 1994, but he broke the alliance after just a few months, with the first Berlusconi cabinet collapsing before Christmas 1994.
