Nicola Fratoianni (born 4 October 1972) is an Italian politician, member of the Chamber of Deputies and Secretary of Italian Left from 2017 to 2019 and again since 2021.[1]
Fratoianni was born in Pisa to parents from Ururi, province of Campobasso, Molise, Southern Italy.
Fratoianni is considered the leader of the left-wing faction, which opposed an alliance with the centre-left Democratic Party when it was led by Matteo Renzi. Fratoianni's aim is to create a left-wing party inspired by the Greek Syriza of Alexis Tsipras and the Spanish Podemos of Pablo Iglesias Turrión.[2] [3]
