Marco Squarta (born 1979) is an Italian politician of Brothers of Italy who was elected member of the European Parliament in 2024.[1] He previously served as president of the Legislative Assembly of Umbria.[1]

Early life and career

Squarta was born in Perugia in 1979.[2] He was a member of the Corecom of Umbria in 2006, and was vice president of the regional Youth Action branch, national director of Youth Action, and vice coordinator of The People of Freedom in the region.[2]
