Domenico Pittella (7 February 1932 – 15 April 2018) was an Italian politician. A member of the Italian Socialist Party, Pittella served on the Senate of the Republic between 1972 and 1983. He was a trained surgeon, which cost him a conviction when he treated Natalia Ligas, a fugitive member of the Red Brigades. His two sons Gianni and Marcello Pittella are also politicians. Referred to as "the Pittellas", they are considered a "dynasty" in the Basilicata region.
