Trade unionist

Pezzotta was a textile worker since 1959.[1] In 1963, he joined the Italian Confederation of Workers' Trade Unions (CISL)[1] and later became a trade union organizer.

In 1972, he joined the Workers' Political Movement, a group of progressive left-wing Catholics, and was a candidate for the Movement in the general election of 1972, obtaining 117 votes. After the small movement disappeared, he dedicated himself to trade union activity.

From 1993 to 1998, he was regional secretary of the CISL in Lombardy. In 1999, he joined the union's national leadership, and was elected its secretary-general one year later.[2] He resigned this post after the general elections of 2006.[1]

Politician

In 2008 Pezzotta founded the White Rose party along with Mario Baccini[3][4] and was elected to the Chamber of Deputies on the Union of the Centre list.[5] On 17 January 2013 he left the UDC and joined the Mixed Group of the Chamber. He was not a candidate in the subsequent elections.
