Dario Moretti

Dario Moretti (born 4 August 1983 , Carpi) is an Italian politician active in local government in the municipality of Rolo, in the Province of Reggio Emilia, where he serves as a municipal councillor.

He is a member of the political party Lega Salvini Premier.

Political career

Moretti was elected municipal councillor of Rolo in the local elections of 9 June 2024, with his appointment officially taking effect on 10 June 2024. He sits on the Rolo Municipal Council as a member of an opposition list originally associated with the civic group Rolo Attiva.

In 2025, together with councillor Maria Cristina Camurri, he promoted the creation of a new political group called Centrodestra per Rolo (Centre-right for Rolo). According to press reports, the initiative was motivated by the desire to give greater visibility and political coherence to the centre-right presence in local politics.

Controversies

In July 2024, Moretti became the subject of widespread media controversy after publishing a video on social media featuring an image resembling Benito Mussolini made with spaghetti, accompanied by the song Faccetta nera. The post was shared in response to a municipal initiative linked to the anti-fascist pasta dinner. The video drew criticism from the local administration and other political figures, while Moretti defended the gesture as a satirical provocation against all forms of dictatorship.
