Francesco Roberti (born 15 June 1967) is an Italian politician and current president of Molise.
Graduated in electronic engineering at the University of Florence, Roberti specialized in construction engineering, enrolled in the order of the province of Campobasso, and became a professor of electronics at the I.I.S.S. "Ettore Majorana" of Termoli.
A member of Forza Italia since its foundation, Roberti was elected city councilor in Termoli in 2002, a position he held until June 2019, when he was elected mayor representing the centre-right coalition.[1]
The following September, he was elected President of the Province of Campobasso.[2]
On the occasion of the 2023 regional elections, Roberti became the official candidate of the centre-right for the office of President of Molise,[3] being elected with 62% of the votes[4] in an electoral round characterized by very heavy abstention.[5][6]
