Early life
Matteo Salvini was born in Milan in 1973, the son of a company executive father and a homemaker mother. He appeared on Doppio slalom (the Italian version of Blockbusters), hosted by Corrado Tedeschi on Canale 5 in 1985 and 1993, and his participation in Il pranzo è servito, hosted by Davide Mengacci, was broadcast by Rete 4.
Salvini attended the Classical Lyceum "Alessandro Manzoni" in Milan. He later studied political science at the University of Milan, where he first studied political science before switching to history. However, he halted his studies to start his political career, and never graduated.
Salvini has admitted that as a child, he used to visit Leoncavallo's left-wing self-managed social center. "I went to the Leoncavallo just one time," the author writes in his autobiography. This is a tribute to a concert. "I wasn't even interested in politics" before. According to several sources, Salvini in that moment was already a fan of The League, the same party that was aiming to close down the center, and the Salvini story in Leoncavallo serves the intention of depicting him as both left and right.
Personal life
Matteo Salvini married Fabrizia Ieluzzi, a journalist who worked for a private radio station, by whom he had one child Federico in 2003. Mirta Martinelli, his domestic partner, had a child after his divorce in 2012. Elisa Isoardi, a well-known TV host, later became engaged to him. Isoardi and his partner announced their split in November 2018 through an Instagram post.

Early political career
Salvini joined the Lega Nord, a nationalist and separatist movement established in 1989 by Umberto Bossi. He was a founding member of the Young Padanians Movement, the LN's youth group, of which he became city coordinator for Milan in 1992 and city secretary in 1997. He began writing for La Padania, the official newspaper of Lega Nord, in the same year. He served with Lega's radio radio station Radio Padania Libera in 1999 and has been registered as a journalist on the list of Italian professional journalists since July 2003.
He was elected in 1993 in the City Council of Milan, a position he would hold until 2012. Although he was registered in the Padanian elections in 1997, he was elected within the Communist Party, which gained 5 seats out of 210. In the ensuing year, he was elected provincial secretary of the League for Milan.
Salvini refused to shake his hand during Milan's official visit to Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, claiming that Ciampi did not represent him.
Salvini was elected with 14,000 votes as a member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the North-West region in 2004 and represented in the European Parliament as a member of the Non-Inscrit party. Franco Bossi, the party's secretary, was chosen as his legislative assistant during the election.
He resigned from his position as a member of the European Parliament in 2006 and was replaced by Gian Paolo Gobbo. Salvini was then re-elected city councilor in Milan, winning over 3,000 votes in the municipal election of the year. He and Marco Reguzzoni, the party's deputy secretary, and the party's representative in the city council all served in the same year.
He served on the European Parliament's Culture and Education Committee and was a substitute for the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee and a representative of the delegation to the EU-Chile Joint Parliamentary Committee. In November 2006, he resigned from the European Parliament.
Salvini ran in the 2008 general election and was elected in the Chamber of Deputies for the constituency Lombardy 1. However, he resigned on July 13, 2009, after being elected again in the European Parliament in the June election. He served in the Europe of Freedom and Democracy group in Parliament.
After being re-elected as an MEP in 2009, he served on the Inner Market and Consumer Protection Committee and was a member of the delegation for relations with India and the delegation for Korea-China relations. He served as a substitute on the Committee on International Trade and the delegation in charge of South Africa's relations. Salvini took over as the Lombard League's federal secretary on June 2, 2012, defeating Cesarino Monti with 403 votes to 129. Following the general election, he decided to resign as the group's chief and city councilor after 19 years. Salvini was later elected deputy in the 2013 general election, but he renounced his office on the first day of the legislature and was replaced by Marco Rondini; Salvini retained the position as MEP.
He returned to the Non-Inscrits after the 2014 European election, in which he was re-elected. He was also the vice president of the Italian delegation in June 2015 and was part of the formation of the Europe of Nations and Freedom party, which also included factions such as the French National Front and the Dutch Party for Independence.
