About me
From 2013 to 2015, I was a Lombardy regional councillor, elected on Umberto Ambrosoli’s Civic Pact list, sitting on the environment and territory committees. In 2015, I was elected mayor of Segrate, a town of 37,000 inhabitants on the eastern border of Milan, which is undergoing rapid economic, urban and social development. In 2020, I was re-elected with the support of a broad coalition ranging from the Third Pole to the Green and Left Alliance. Attention to environmental issues, territorial defence and sustainable mobility has always been the cornerstone of my political vision and administrative programme. It’s no coincidence that Segrate was one of three European cities called upon to present its own environmental project at COP 26 in Glasgow in 2021. Thanks to the efforts of my municipal administration in recent years, we have been able to secure the funding needed to build the extension of line 4 of the Milan metro from Linate airport to Segrate and the new Porta Est high-speed railway station, two strategic infrastructures for the mobility of my city, Milan, Lombardy and northern Italy.

Joint statement on the 30th Anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide
11 July 2025
Thirty years ago, in Srebrenica, more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were murdered by the Bosnian Serb army. In 2007, the International Court of Justice ruled that the atrocities constituted genocide. The wider Bosnian War saw over 100,000 killed, thousands of women raped, and more than two million people forced from their homes between 1992 and 1995.
