Nicola Mancino (born October 15, 1931) is an Italian politician. He was President of the Italian Senate from 1996 to 2001. He was also Minister of the Interior from 1992 to 1994.
Mancino was born in Montefalcione, province of Avellino (Campania). He became first provincial and then regional secretary of Democrazia Cristiana (Italy's Christian Democratic Party), being elected for the first time in the Italian Senate in 1976. So far he had been reconfirmed in all subsequent elections.
He was Minister of the Interior from 1992 to 1994. In that year, after the dissolution of Democrazia Cristiana, he adhered to the Italian People's Party (PPI), as the most faifhtul collaborator of its secretary, Mino Martinazzoli. In July of the same year he opposed the alliance with the right coalition led by Silvio Berlusconi, and the election of Rocco Buttiglione as secretary.
Later he was a member of The Daisy, born of the left wing of the PPI. After the victory of the left-centre coalition led by Romano Prodi in the 1996 elections, he was President of the Italian Senate from May 9, 1996 to May 29, 2001.
On July 24, 2006, he left the Senate and became part of the Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura, Italy's senior council of Justice.
