Emotion, even emotion with a few tears, in the official nomination ceremony of Riccardo Righi as mayor of Carpi. In the City Council room of Palazzo Scacchetti there was a large part of the political world waiting for the new mayor who supported the architect’s candidacy (in addition to the next Forza Italia councilor Michele De Rosa, protagonist of an elegant gesture of political fair play). Righi received the ideal baton from his predecessor Alberto Bellelliwho in an embrace full of emotions gave him the tricolor sash with the coat of arms of the City of Pio: «I pass this sash to a person who I know will be able to represent the feeling of love towards a city and a community that is united he can do everything”, said Bellelli, handing the armband to his former councillor.

With his voice broken several times by emotion (“it doesn’t happen to me often, you’ll excuse me”), the new Mayor of Carpi began: «I’m very excited, thanks to Alberto, it’s been an honor to spend these five years with you, it wasn’t always very simple but they were beautiful years, in which I grew a lot and I owe this to the whole city, to the people who stood by me starting from Marti (the pregnant partner, ndc). It is an honor for me to receive this armband from Alberto in front of all of you who have supported me, it is not an easy path we have undertaken – continues Righi –. We have achieved a wonderful result, which demonstrates that politics can once again be close to the people. I want to be the mayor of everyone, regardless of any political idea and not only for those who gave us confidence in these elections but also for those who did not give it and for those who abstained. The colors of this band are those of Italy with the coat of arms of Carpi, a symbol that is very dear to me because I chose this city above all for love. Thanks to everyone, today an extraordinary adventure begins”, concluded the new mayor. Already working on the composition of his council, which will be called upon to govern Carpi for five years of new challenges.
