On 23 and 2 4 June we will have to choose between two city models: on the one hand the Perugia of ‘No’, which blocks development with uncertain policies, on the other the Perugia of ‘Yes’ which without ideologies promotes concrete ideas and projects that they improve everyone’s lives. It will be a choice between past and future. With me, Perugia will have a free mayor who looks forward.” On social media, Scoccia explains that «for these reasons I felt the need to meet you again, to be together, continue to discuss and plan our future with you. We will do it with this new journey through the squares and streets of our Perugia. Perugia loves you, so do you.”

Ferdinandi «person by person» Ferdinandi, on the other hand, prepares for the last week of passion, stating: «For us politics has never been a means but an end, and the end is people. For us politics is participation. For us, politics is looking each other in the eye. For us, politics is about holding hands, sharing hopes and facing difficulties. People matter, their lives matter. We want to listen to them and give them an answer: ‘Person by person’.” A note therefore explains that «for this reason during the next nine days we have scheduled four events in four areas of our city: Saturday 15 June from 6pm in Piazza della Repubblica, Monday 17 June from 6pm in Piazza Silvio Guelpa in Ponte Felcino, Tuesday 18 June from 5pm in Piazza Valentino Martinelli in San Sisto, Thursday 20 June from 10.30am at the Ponte San Giovanni Market”.
«Even as mayor I will go to the streets» On his journey through the neighborhoods and hamlets of Perugia Ferdinandi says: «I will meet every person who wishes to dialogue with me and represent their history and ideas. Face to face with every citizen, with every citizen who wants to sit next to me and establish an equal connection: eye to eye, listening for listening, word for word. This is how I serve our community and this is how it will remain in the future. Even as mayor, my commitment will continue in this direction. I want to be – it is always written in a note – the mayor of everyone, but above all a mayor among people, for people and with people. For this reason I feel like announcing right now that I will periodically dedicate an entire day to meeting citizens in the places of participation. I will be the one to go to them, in the squares, in our meeting centers, where there is a need for listening and consideration.”
