Helsinki
"Innovation. Inclusion. Smart Solutions for a thriving city of Helsinki."
I came to Finland from Italy in the early 90s and have since built my life here. I am an adjunct professor in medicinal chemistry and have worked for the Finnish pharmaceutical industry for over 30 years.
In addition to my work, I am active in the Church and sing in several choirs. I am currently vice president of the non-profit educational association Kielilähettiläät / Språkambassadörerna, and have been active in the Scout Movement both in Italy and in Finland as Leader Trainer and International Commissioner, among other roles.
As a grandfather and committed to social issues, I am passionate about creating a Helsinki where everyone is given the opportunity to grow and develop.
I am running for a more inclusive and sustainable Helsinki for all of us.
Important political topics
Children, Youth, and Families
Children, young people and families are the foundation of the future, and I want to work to create a safe and equal environment for everyone to grow up in. Through increased support and better resources, I want to give Helsinki's young people the best conditions to grow and succeed.
Economy & Business
A strong local economy creates jobs, security and opportunities for both businesses and residents to grow and develop in Helsinki.
Equality and Equity
My Helsinki should be a place where everyone, regardless of background, gender or circumstances, has equal opportunities to succeed and feel included in society.
