Anna Ascani (born 17 October 1987) is an Italian politician.

Biography

Ascani graduated in Philosophy in 2009 at the University of Perugia, where she gained a three-year degree, and in 2012 at the University of Trento, gaining a master's degree, and is currently studying for a PhD in Political Sciences at the LUISS University.[1]

In 2006, at the age of 18, Ascani ran for a seat in the city council of her birth town Città di Castello in Umbria. The following year, with the birth of the Democratic Party and the 2007 primaries, she gave her support to Enrico Letta.[2]

Political career

At the 2013 general election, Ascani is elected to the Chamber of Deputies.[3] That same year, during the 2013 primaries, she supported Matteo Renzi, later elected Secretary[2]; she supported Renzi again at the 2017 primaries.

In 2016, Forbes appointed Ascani as one of the 30 most influential under 30 European politicians.[4]

After having been re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies at the 2018 general election[5], she ran at the primaries of the following year as the running mate of Roberto Giachetti[6]: the team ranked third, but Ascani is appointed, together with Debora Serracchiani, Vicepresident of the Democratic Party.[7]
