Roberto Vannacci (born 20 October 1968) is an Italian far-right politician and retired army general. Since July 2024, he has been serving as a Member of the European Parliament; elected for the League, in February 2026 he founded his own political party, National Future.
Vannacci became a well-known and discussed figure following the publication, in August 2023, of his book Il mondo al contrario ("The world upside down") which, due to the controversial statements expressed on feminism, immigrants, homosexuals, environmentalism, and Jews, brought him to the center of considerable media attention.
