FANO He was elected immediately by 172 votes and for Cristian Fanesi, who saw the possibility of going to the run-off to still hope disappear in this way, it was like paying the price for victory in the centre-left primaries by just 3 votes. Luca Serfilippi, 37 years old, in just over a month, formally assumed the functions of mayor: yesterday at 2.50 pm he was proclaimed in office by the electoral commission, with the report drawn up by judge Giacomo Gasparini, who validated the result of the ballot for the city council.
The ceremony
At 3.30 pm today the handover and the tricolor sash by Massimo Seri will take place in the Town Hall. The ceremony will not take place in the presence of most of the Municipality’s employees because, after 15 uninterrupted years of waiting for elective positions (5 years as provincial councilor and 10 as mayor of Fano) Massimo Seri, having missed out on the election to the European Parliament, this morning he goes back to work in the Province. In Pesaro, in the headquarters in via Gramsci, he found his desk as an official in charge of managing the organisation’s management.
Seri announced it on Fano TV on Monday evening during the counting of votes (3,852 preferences for him in the European elections, fifth in the Action for Central Italy list, but his party did not even exceed the 4% threshold). “There are some who are ironic about my going back to work – Seri commented yesterday – but for me resuming my role in the Province means easing the tensions that a mayor has.” So, work less. Moreover, he doesn’t want to talk about the centre-left’s recriminations for such a stinging electoral defeat: “These are issues that now concern the council opposition.” Nor does he respond to the accusations of the provincial secretary of the Democratic Party, Rosetta Fulvi, who attributed the greatest responsibility to him for the lack of broad-based alliance. «It’s easy to talk the next day. The Democratic Party could have listened to me first if it wanted to avoid this » he limited himself to saying, alluding to the prolonged tensions with the secretary of the Fano Democratic Party, Minardi.
An opposite climate for Luca Serfilippi who yesterday morning, as he announced, met the fishermen, thus signaling the strategic importance attributed to this sector of the economy and identity of Fano. Then he took care of the last tasks related to the closing of the electoral office and relaxed by jogging. After the proclamation, his first task is to appoint the council.
It will be a council of 7 councillors, of which at least 3 are women due to regulatory constraints, plus the mayor. «Before making the choice I will proceed with the consultations with the secretariats of the parties – he stated yesterday afternoon -, I am not able to make a forecast on the days needed, however I don’t think we will have problems or there will be any particular obstacles. We will find the right people for each role. This was a great team victory even if the personal trust of the citizens was important, that 2% of votes marked on the ballot paper only with a cross on my name.”
There should be no tensions in the new majority because the political agreement, moreover according to the tradition of Aguzzi’s centre-right, was clear before the elections (although Serfilippi says he has no name in mind). Whoever received the most preferences with a number of councilors proportional to the electoral weight enters the council. The count is quickly made between the 5 lists: 2 councilors for Fratelli d’Italia, 2 for the League, 1 for Fano changes pace (which expresses, in a certain sense, and also the mayor because it is his civic body), 1 for Forza Italy and 1 at the Civici Fano. The outcome of the polls also resolved gender problems due to a significant female presence among those elected to municipal councils.
The team and preferences
According to this hypothesis, the council would be made up for Fdi of Loretta Manocchi, lawyer, and Lucia Tarsi, teacher and outgoing municipal councilor; for the League by Alberto Santorelli, insurance agent, former councilor and former councilor and Gianluca Ilari, manager of Profilglass and former councilor; for Fano, Alessio Curzi, Aset employee responsible for the aqueduct, changes pace; for Forza Italia by Fiammetta Rinaldi, accountant; for Civici Fano by Loredana Maghernino, head of the penitentiary police of the women’s section in the Pesaro prison. With the balancing of the role of prime minister, some variables are obviously possible considering specific skills.
