Overview
- Fratelli d’Italia, Lega, Forza Italia and Noi Moderati endorsed Tomasi unanimously after a regional summit.
- Tuscany votes on October 12–13, with lists due within days, in a direct contest with incumbent Eugenio Giani.
- Tomasi has served as Pistoia mayor since 2017, won re‑election in 2022 in the first round, and is Fratelli d’Italia’s regional coordinator.
- Giani runs on a PD–M5S 23‑point platform that features a Firenze–Pisa rail upgrade and the closure of the Piombino regasifier.
- Azione declined to support Giani at the national level, and the party’s Tuscan secretary resigned after opposing that decision.
