Rudy Giuliani Introduction

Rudy Giuliani is an American lawyer and politician who served as New York City’s 107th Mayor from 1994 to 2001. From 1981 to 1983, he was the United States Associate Attorney General, and even from 1983 to 1989, he was the United States Attorney for the Southern New York District.

Rudy Giuliani Early Life

Giuliani was born in 1944 in the East Flatbush area of Brooklyn, then an Italian-American enclave, the only child of working-class parents Helen (née D’Avanzo; 1909-2002) and Harold Angelo Giuliani (1908-1981), both children of Italian immigrants. On his father’s side, Giuliani is of Tuscan heritage, since his paternal grandparents (Rodolfo as well as Evangelina Giuliani) were born in Montecatini Terme, Tuscany, Italy.

He was brought up as a Roman Catholic. Harold Giuliani, a plumber as well as bartender, struggled to find work, was convicted of felony robbery and assault, and spent time in Sing Sing prison. After being freed, he served as an enforcer for his brother-in-law, Leo D’Avanzo, who ran an organized crime-affiliated loan sharking and gambling enterprise out of a Brooklyn restaurant. Helen and Harold resided in East Flatbush until Harold perished of prostate cancer in 1981, at which point Helen relocated to Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

When Giuliani was seven years old, his family relocated from Brooklyn to Garden City South, where he attended St. Anne’s Catholic School. Later, he returned to Brooklyn to attend Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, where he graduated in 1961.

Giuliani studied political science with a minor in philosophy at Manhattan College in Riverdale, Bronx, and pondered becoming a priest. Giuliani was chosen class president his sophomore year but was not re-elected his junior year.

He became a member of the Phi Rho Pi collegiate forensic fraternity and honor society. He received his diploma in 1965. Giuliani chose against the priesthood and instead attended the New York University School of Law in Manhattan, where he was a member of the NYU Law Review and graduated with honors in 1968.

Giuliani began his political career as a Democrat. In 1968, he volunteered for Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign. In the mid-1960s, he served as a Democratic Party committeeman on Long Island as well as registered for George McGovern for President in 1972.

Rudy Giuliani Personal Life

Giuliani has had three marriages and two children. He wedded his second cousin, Regina Peruggi, in 1968. Despite the fact that they did not separate until 1983, the couple was separated in the mid-1970s.

His second wife was Donna Hanover, with whom he had two children, Andrew, a boy, and Caroline, a daughter. Rudy and Donna divorced in 2000, after a public struggle that featured Giuliani’s affairs with future spouse Judith Nathan, who was barred from seeing his children until the separation was finalized.

Following his struggle with prostate cancer, he married Nathan in 2010. They divorced in September of 2018. Following this, Giuliani announced he was dating nurse practitioner Maria Ryan, who was rumored to be his lover throughout his marriage to Nathan.

Rudy Giuliani Mayoral Career

After an unsuccessful bid for mayor of New York City in 1989, Giuliani was elected in 1993 and re-elected in 1997. Between 1994 to 2001, he led the contentious “civic cleaning” of the city on the basis of his anti-crime program. Giuliani concentrated on getting rid of panhandlers but also sex clubs in Times Square, hoping to restore the area’s previous concentration on commerce and the arts.

To do this, he joined newly appointed police commissioner William Bratton and focused on low-level crimes, employing the “broken windows policing” notion to target apparent symptoms of social disorder. While crime rates decreased, Giuliani faced criticism for his tactics, which were perceived to disproportionately target ethnic minorities.

Giuliani was generally praised as mayor in 2001 for his response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Many people applauded his leadership abilities, enabling his approval numbers to skyrocket. Giuliani was dubbed “America’s mayor” at the time, and he was given Time magazine’s Person of the Year in 2002, as well as an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II. Despite these accolades, Giuliani was later chastised for downplaying the post-attack health consequences and for his hurry to reopen Wall Street.

Giuliani worked as an attorney with Patterson, Belknap, Webb as well as Tyler from 1977 until 1981.

During this period, upon Ronald Reagan’s victory, Giuliani changed his political allegiance from Independent to Republican. In the Reagan administration, he was nominated Associate Attorney General in 1981, and in 1983, he was appointed US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Giuliani gained fame in this role as a result of his several high-profile cases, including the prosecution of drug dealers and organized crime.

The Mafia Commission Trial, which lasted from 1985 to 1986, was one of Giuliani’s most renowned trials. He indicted 11 organized crime leaders on racketeering, and extortion, including murder for hire counts as the chief US prosecutor. Another high-profile case was Wall Street arbitrageur Ivan Boesky, who was charged with insider trading; this case resulted in the indictment of junk bond dealer Michael Milken, who was also a part of the scam.
