Biography

Fabbrini was born in Abbadia San Salvatore, Italy in 1926. His father, Alessandro, was a member of the Communist Party of Italy. During the Italian Civil War, Fabbrini was a anti-fascist partisan, participating in combat against the government of Benito Mussolini.[2] After the war, he continued to remain involved in anti-fascist politics with the Communist Party.

During the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of Italy, in 1962, Fabbrini was elected to the Central Committee of the party, a post he held until 1970.

Fabbrini served as Mayor of Siena between January 1965 and July 1966.

In 1968, he became a member of the Italian Senate. Subsequently, he was selected by the Senate to be a Member of European Parliament. As an MEP, Fabbrini was outspoken on several issues, particularly against corruption and bribery.[3]

He left politics in 1976, and died in Siena in 2018, aged 92.
