Overview

  • Regional leaders of Fratelli d’Italia, Lega, Forza Italia and Noi Moderati unanimously designated Tomasi after a coalition meeting.
  • Tomasi, the mayor of Pistoia since 2017 and re-elected in 2022, is also Fratelli d’Italia’s regional coordinator.
  • The regional vote is scheduled for 12–13 October 2025 as parties race to finalize candidate lists in the coming days.
  • Eugenio Giani seeks re-election with support from a centre-left alliance that excludes Azione after its national leadership withdrew.
  • The PD–M5S agreement outlines measures such as a regional basic income, shorter work hours at equal pay, rail upgrades on the Florence–Pisa line, and opposition to the Piombino regasifier, the Florence airport expansion and a new NATO base in Florence or San Rossore.
