Fabio Casadei Turroni (born 1964) is an Italian writer, singer, actor and journalist. He studied singing and got his bachelor's degree as a musicologist at the Department of Art and Music at Bologna State University. He then established himself as a lyrical tenor. Turroni's performing style was highly appreciated by some of the best musicians of the 20th century, but at the age of 38 he gave up performing because of his health troubles, and started writing novels. He currently lives between Bologna and Milan.

His debut novel, Moto Perpetuo (Perpetuum Mobile), was a best seller and won the first prize at the 2001 GLBT Art Competition. His second novel Cosmicomiche Orgasmiche (a clear tribute to Italo Calvino's Cosmicomiche) was published one year after. The third novel Angelo d'Edimburgo was published in 2006.[citation needed]

In 2007 Turroni wrote the libretto for an opera, Ceneraccio (Cinderella), taken from old Norwegian tales. The music was written by Sylvano Bussotti. Turroni also tranlsated poetry by Christopher Isherwood into Italian for musical settings by Bussotti.

Turroni is also a political activist in support of the International Lesbian and Gay Association and other GLBT organizations.[citation needed]
