Davide Casaleggio (born 14 January 1976) is an Italian entrepreneur and political activist, born in Milan.
Davide Federico Dante Casaleggio was born in Milan in 1976.
After the death of his father Gianroberto, he became chairman of Casaleggio Associati srl, an internet and publishing company that advises on network strategies, and editor of Beppe Grillo's blog.
Since 2016 Casaleggio has become a prominent figure in the Five Star Movement, a populist and anti-establishment party which was founded by his father along with Beppe Grillo. In the Italian context, Casaleggio has promoted the Web as a medium for political communication.
His role in the M5S has become increasingly important, albeit unofficial. As his father, he is considered the grey eminence of the movement.
In February 2018, the New York Times dedicated an article to Casaleggio, describing him as a "mystery man who runs the M5S from the shadows."
