Olivier Falorni (French pronunciation: [ɔlivje falɔʁni]; born 27 March 1972) is a French politician who was elected to the National Assembly on 17 June 2012, representing La Rochelle in the 1st constituency of the Charente-Maritime department.[1] He was reelected in 2017 and again in 2022 and 2024.
Falorni was born in Rochefort, Charente-Maritime on 27 March 1972, the son of a school teacher and an employee in the Social Security system.[2][3] The Falorni family fled Fascist Italy in the Interwar period and settled in Charente-Maritime in Laleu, a neighborhood of La Rochelle.[4] Falorni's grandfather, Gino Falorni, was a teacher and was a major figure in the local basketball team, where he served as a player, captain and coach between 1935 and 1954.[5]
After graduating from lycée Jean-Dautet in La Rochelle, Falorni enrolled at the University of Bordeaux, where he graduated in 1995 with a Degree of in-Depth Studies in Contemporary History. Falorni got his first teaching job in 1997 and prior to his election, was working as a history and geography teacher at the Lycée professionnel Pierre Doriole in La Rochelle.[6][7]
