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.
