Early life and career

edit

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]

In the 2015 regional election, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Umbria.[3] He served as group leader of the Brothers of Italy, and was initially the party's candidate for president of Umbria ahead of the 2019 regional election.[4] Brothers of Italy later agreed to support Lega's Donatella Tesei for the presidency,[5] and Squarta was instead elected president of the legislative assembly.[6]
