The road to the elections, on the 6th and 7th of June, appears both difficult and fascinating, for someone who was an ordinary citizen, until a short time ago, such as myself. On one side, there is the need to create a dialogue, to gather ideas and transform them into a worthwhile project. On the other side, their is the satisfaction of meeting people, of getting to know and understand their needs. To find practicable solutions for real problems.
I would like this website, to document the road I intend to take with you, something we can read and consult together, even during my term in office. Without open and frank dialogue, their can be no trust between a politician and his voters. The economic crisis threatens the social fabric of Forlì. It is the difficult job of the town hall, to use money wisely, to promote solidarity and to give a future to the next generation.
I am fully aware of the inadequate resources, of all the problems, of all the difficulties that will come in the following days, weeks and months. On reflection, I realised who should interest themselves in all of this? If not an ordinary citizen with a job, a family and a house. I am looking forward to putting myself at the service of fellow citizens.
To all of you who are reading this, I do not ask anything other than your willingness to walk with me along this long and difficult road, until we can reach a prosperous end for ourselves and for our children.
