Early life[]

Born in Mazara del Vallo, a town in Sicily, Bonafede studied law at the University of Florence and the University of Pisa; in 2006, he earned a PhD from the University of Pisa.

Political career[]

Bonafede was first introduced to politics by Beppe Grillo, standing as the Five Star Movement's candidate for Mayor of Florence in 2009, garnering 1.82% of the vote.

In the Italian general election in 2013, he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies as a member of the Five Star Movement, representing the XII district of Tuscany;[1] Bonafede was reelected in the Italian general election of 2018.

During the formation of government following the 2018 election, his name was put forth as a possible prime minister.[2]

Instead, Bonafede was sworn in as Minister of Justice on 1 June 2018, as a member of the Conte Cabinet,[3] and again on 5 September 2019, as a member of the second Conte Cabinet.
