Enrico Letta is an Italian politician and academic born on 20 August 1966 in Pisa, Tuscany.
He is the son of Giorgio Letta, a mathematics professor specializing in probability theory at the University of Pisa and a member of the Accademia dei Lincei, and Anna Banchi, who has Sardinian and Tuscan roots.
Part of his childhood was spent in Strasbourg, where his father taught as a visiting professor, an experience that contributed to his early European outlook.
