Sammarinese politician Clara Boscaglia was one of the first women elected to the Grand and General Council, and later became the first in San Marino to serve as a government minister. She was a member of the Sammarinese Christian Democratic Party (SCDP), becoming the party’s parliamentary group leader and political secretary. She was also a founding member of the Confederazione generale democratica dei lavoratori sammarinesi in 1957.
After Sammarinese women gained the right to stand for election in 1973, the first four women were elected to the Grand and General Council: Boscaglia, Anna Maria Casali, Fausta Morganti and Marina Busignani Reffi, who declined to take her seat so that her husband could have it. Boscaglia served as Minister of Public Works from 1974 to 1976, then Minister of the Interior and of Justice, and later Secretary for Finance in the 1980s, and remained a member of the Grand and General Council until her death in 1990.
