Mario Monti (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmaːrjo ˈmonti]; born 19 March 1943) is an Italian economist and academic who has been the 54th Prime Minister of Italy, as well as Minister of Economy and Finance, since November 2011.
Monti served as a European Commissioner from 1995 to 2004, with responsibility for the Internal Market, Services, Customs and Taxation from 1995 to 1999 and for Competition from 1999 to 2004. Monti has also been Rector and President of Bocconi University in Milan.
On 12 November 2011, in the midst of the European sovereign debt crisis, Monti was invited by President Giorgio Napolitano to form a new technocratic government (in Italian, governo tecnico) following the resignation of Silvio Berlusconi. Monti was sworn in as Prime Minister on 16 November 2011, just a week after having been appointed a Senator for Life.
Monti was born in Varese on 19 March 1943. His mother was from Piacenza. Although his father grew up in Varese, he was born in Luján in the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, where the Monti family had emigrated in the 19th century and built up a soft-drink and beer-production business. Monti's father went back to Argentina during World War II, but later returned to his family home in Varese.

The Merry Minuet
Kingston Trio
They're rioting in Africa,
They're starving in Spain.
There's hurricanes in Florida,
And Texas needs rain
The whole world is festering
With unhappy souls.
The French hate the Germans,
The Germans hate the Poles;
Italians hate Yugoslavs,
South Africans hate the Dutch,
And I don't like anybody very much!
But we can be tranquil
And "thankfill" and proud,
For man's been endowed
With a mushroom-shaped cloud.
And we know for certain
That some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off,
And we will all be blown away!
They're rioting in Africa,
There's strife in Iran.
What nature doesn't do to us
Aventura...
Como pasan los anos
Ayer ramos ninos
Mami y papi luchaban
Por nuestro porvenir
Tu cuidabas de mi
Hoy yo velo por ti
Hermanita te adoro
S que no eres feliz
Otro golpe en la cara
Esto es cada semana
Y como siempre una excusa
Que tu ganas al fin
Que se burle de ti
Pero que hago yo aqui?
Banquet quiera quartered
Tu lo aceptas asi
Tu eres mi sangre
Y mi meta es salvarte
Rezo por ti
Hermanita el no te quiere quiere
Tiene como veinte mujeres
Y tu no ves
Te maltrata
Luego tu lo defiendes
Claramente no te conviene
Que no lo ves?
(Lloras) Cada ves que te pega
(Lloras) Me da rabia y pena
(Lloras) Como siento tu temor
(Lloras) En sus manos puedes morir
(Lloras) Ese hombre te hace sufrir
(Lloras) Y es ese moretn
(Lloras) Cuando escupe tu cara
(Lloras) Y con malas palabras
(Lloras) El se siente superior
Ese hombre es un animal
Un cobarde sin dignidad
Por pegarle a una mujer
El no es digno de que tanto lo ames
Piensa bien tu eres la culpable
Y tu no ves
"Ladies, keep your head up, comon'... holla back"
Mis sobrinos no deben
Por su mami correr
En tu casa hay un monstruo
Y tu duermes con el
Anda cuenta las horas
Que te ha hecho feliz
Luego cuenta los aos
Que te ha hecho sufrir
Y yo no soporto
Ver mi hermana llorando
Ese hombre es una rata
No existe hombre que pueda obligarte
Estar con el puedes alejarte
Que no lo ves?
No se, siento lo que yo veo es miedo
Tu le temes a ese perro
Que no lo ves?
(Lloras) Cuando llega a la casa
(Lloras) Como un perro borracho
(Lloras) Y te pega sin razn
(Lloras) Y los nios solo lo ven
(Lloras) Y le gritan daddy no
(Lloras) No le pegues otra ves
(Lloras) Ese tipo te humilla
(Lloras) Y te habla mentiras
(Lloras) Y no tiene corazn
Deberia mejor cambiar
Que me venga a mi a pegar
