Resigned after stroke A conservative Christian Democrat, former President Segni held several ministerial posts during the Centrist Fifties. He was prime minister of Italy before his election to the presidency, and had also directed the ministries of culture, education, defense and foreign affairs. Incapacitated by a stroke in August, 1964, after serving only had opposed him in 1962, succeeded him. Although the president of the Republic does not play an active role in directing political movements, President Segni visited the United States early in 1964 for talks with President Johnson.

A landowner and law professor before entering politics, President Segni's conservative outlook did not prevent him from launching a land which made many farmworkers into small landowners. This action made him more acceptable to the Italian left. Mr. Segni was also active in promoting European unity, for which he received the Charlemagne Prize at Aachen, in West Germany, in May, 1964.
