	Guido Crosetto comes from a family of entrepreneurs from Cuneo, in Piedmont. Due to his father's death, Crosetto could not finish studies in economy at the University of Turin, which he had been attending: at the University he became a member of the youth wing of the Christian Democracy (DC) and in 1988, at only 25 years, Crosetto became economic advisor of Prime Minister Giovanni Goria.
