Biography

Bocchino was born in Naples, and in his youth, he was a member of the Italian Social Movement (a post-fascist formation) and worked as a spokesman for the member of parliament Giuseppe Tatarella, and subsequently as a journalist for Il Secolo d'Italia .

In 1996, 2001 and 2006 he was elected to the Italian Chamber of Deputies for National Alliance, the party founded by Gianfranco Fini to replace MSI. In 2005 he was the centre-right candidate for the presidency of the Campania region, but was defeated by Antonio Bassolino. In 2007 he founded Con, a conservative magazine.

Despite having been elected to the Italian Parliament into The People of Freedom lists in 2008, Bocchino in 2010 followed Gianfranco Fini to found Future and Freedom, a centre-right party which aims to counter Silvio Berlusconi's predominance in the Italian right area. Within the party, he is the founder of the Generation Italy movement.
