Life and career
Born in Rome and resident in Florence, Benelli graduated in law and was a member of the PSI Central Committee and regional secretary of the party.[1] From 1975 to 1979, he was deputy mayor of Prato in the administration led by Goffredo Lohengrin Landini.[2]
Benelli was elected to the Regional Council of Tuscany in 1980, 1985 and 1990. Between 1985 and 1990 he served as vice-president of the Regional Government of Tuscany and regional assessor for Budget (1985–1987)[3] and later for Healthcare (1987–1990).[4][5] In 1990 he was elected president of the Regional Council of Tuscany, a position he held until June 1993.[1][6]
In 1994, Benelli was arrested as part of an investigation into alleged bribery related to a pharmaceutical supply contract. He was convicted at first instance, but was acquitted on appeal on 12 March 2001, with the court finding that no offence had been committed.[2][7]
