Corrao was born in Rome and grew up in Alcamo, Sicily. He has a law degree[1] from the University of Palermo.[2]

In the 2014 European Parliament election he was elected to the European Parliament in the Italian Islands (European Parliament constituency) constituency, getting the highest number of preference votes among the Five Star Movement candidates.[3] In June he was elected the first leader of the Five Star Movement's group in the Parliament.[1][4]

He is a member of the European Parliament Committee on Development and the European Parliament Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. On these Committees he represents the positions of his political group: the EFD (Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy). The EFD group politics are characterized by Euroscepticism, National-Conservatorisms and Right-Wing populism.
