Mia Diop

Mia Bintou Diop (born 3 February 2002) is an Italian politician who has served as vice president of Tuscany since November 2025.

Life and career Diop was born in Cecina in 2002 and grew up in Livorno. She is the daughter of Mbaye Diop, the president of the local Senegalese community and activist of the Democratic Party, and an Italian mother.

Diop graduated from the "Niccolini Palli" classical high school in Livorno and later pursued studies in political science at the University of Pisa. She joined the Democratic Party at the age of sixteen and has been active in the party's youth wing, the Young Democrats.

On 10 November 2025, during the opening session of the 12th Legislature of Tuscany, Diop was appointed by president Eugenio Giani vice president of the regional government, becoming the youngest person to hold the position in the region's history. Her appointment was seen as a sign of generational renewal within the Democratic Party, particularly among those aligned with Elly Schlein's leadership.
