In Rome, newly elected mayor Roberto Gualtieri has chosen a new councillor for culture: he is Roman Miguel Gotor, born in 1971, a professor of modern history at the Department of Literary, Philosophical and Art History at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. He is an expert on the history of religion between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as well as on the history of the 1970s. Gotor also has a past in Parliament: in fact, he was a senator during the 17th Legislature, from 2013 to 2017, elected in Umbria with the Democratic Party (in 2017 he was then among the founders of Articolo 1 - MDP). Gotor then also ran for political office in 2018, with Liberi e Uguali, but was not elected.

Among the essays written by Gotor are The Pope’s Blessed. Santità, Inquisizione e obbedienza in età moderna (Olschki, 2002), Chiesa e santità nell’Italia moderna (Laterza, 2004), Immagini di un cinquantennio 1954-2004 (Piria, 2006), Santi stravaganti. Hagiography, Religious Orders and Ecclesiastical Censorship in the Early Modern Age (Arachne, 2012), Io ci sarà ancora.
