Augusta Anita Laura Montaruli (born 14 September 1983 in Turin) is an Italian politician and lawyer. She is a member of the right-wing Brothers of Italy party, led by current Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. From 2 November 2022 to 24 February 2023 Montaruli was a member of the Meloni Government, serving as Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of University and Research under the leadership of Minister Anna Maria Bernini (FI). She resigned from the post after the Supreme Court of Cassation confirmed her embezzlement conviction. She continues to serve as a Deputy in the Italian Parliament. On 5 February 2025, in a public TV political debate, she famously staged a singular protest by barking to stop opposition deputy Marco Furfaro from commenting on her conviction.
