He is married to María Angélica Irurita Martínez, and they have four children.[2]

Professional career

He completed his primary education at Colegio Hispano Británico and his secondary education at American College in Iquique. He later studied law at Diego Portales University and qualified as a lawyer on 8 June 2001.[2]

In 2012, he was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of Arturo Prat University.[2]

Political career

In 2003, Trisotti joined the Jóvenes al Servicio de Chile program run by the Jaime Guzmán Foundation, working in the municipality of Putre as part of a legal assistance program for local families.[2]

Between 2004 and 2009, he held several positions at the Municipality of Alto Hospicio, including Legal Director, Municipal Secretary, and Municipal Administrator.[2]

In 2008, he was elected municipal councillor of Iquique, representing the Independent Democratic Union (UDI). He served until 2010, when he was appointed Regional Ministerial Secretary of Justice —Seremi— for the Tarapacá Region by President Sebastián Piñera.[2]

In June 2012, he left that post to become Regional Ministerial Secretary of Social Development in the same region.[2]

In May 2013, he resigned to run for the Chamber of Deputies in the November parliamentary elections. He was elected with 20,818 votes.[2]

In the November 2017 parliamentary elections, he was re-elected as Deputy for the 2nd electoral district of the Tarapacá Region, representing the UDI within the Chile Vamos coalition. He obtained 20,084 votes, equivalent to 22.22% of the valid votes cast.[2]

In August 2021, Trisotti registered his candidacy for re-election to the Chamber of Deputies, representing the UDI within the Chile Podemos Más coalition, and in November was re-elected with the highest vote share in the district, receiving 11,100 votes, corresponding to 11.09% of the valid votes.[2]

In late November 2023, he resigned from the UDI.[2] On 24 February 2025, he formally joined the Republican Party (REP).[2]
