Francesco Torselli (born 9 March 1976) is an Italian politician of Brothers of Italy who was elected member of the European Parliament in 2024.[1]

Early life and career

Torselli was born in Florence in 1976.[2] He joined the Youth Front on the morning after the Capaci bombing, because he considered it to be the furthest from the Tangentopoli.[3] In 1999, he was elected president of Youth Action in Florence.[4] From 2009 to 2019 he served as city councillor of Florence, and in the 2020 regional election he was elected to the Regional Council of Tuscany.[4] He was chosen as group leader of the Brothers of Italy on the council in the same year, and held the role until his election to the European Parliament.[5]
