Gianfranco de Turris is an Italian journalist and the president of the Fondazione Julius Evola. He has been described by political scientist Jean-Yves Camus as "a key figure in Italian right-wing circles".
De Turris is known for his work on the Italian far-right philosopher Julius Evola, who he portrays as a thinker "committed more to a detached criticism of the contemporary world similar to Nietzsche's critique of nihilism than to political engagement."
He is also the editor-in-chief of Evola's works in Italian with the publisher Edizioni Mediterranee.
