Fabio Casadei Turroni (born November 11, 1964) is an Italian novelist, musicologist and journalist. Son of the painter Rino Casadei Turroni, 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. 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. The preface of the novel was written by the writer Roberto Pazzi, and the postface was written by the composer Sylvano Bussotti.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

In 2022 he wrote the libretto for the opera Venere e Adone, put in music by Salvatore Sciarrino.
