He is the teacher of the Cuneo Conservatory Gianluca Verlingieri the person indicated by the mayor Patrizia Manassero for the general council of the CRC Foundation.
Verlingieri, from Cuneo, born in 1976, is an internationally renowned composer and sound artist and since 2012 has coordinated the Mets department of the Conservatory, dedicated to new technologies and electronic music. Al “Ghedini” is also the holder of the chair of electroacoustic musical composition and a member of the academic council. He lives in the Cuneo Centro district – where he was among the promoters of the “white sheets” protest against the degradation of Via Pellico – and is a member of the city’s Democratic Party, supporter of the Schlein motion in the last primaries.
He will replace the former mayor as councilor Federico Borgnacalled to join the Foundation’s board of directors. “Interest has fallen on the person of Verlingieri also and above all for the professional role he plays” Manassero specified, responding to the controversy triggered by Beppe Lauria of Independence!: “Continue making appointments ‘ad personam’, I think it would be much more transparent to be able to say which candidates are chosen. The others act as ‘useful idiots’, effectively legitimizing someone else’s choice.”. “The nominated one – adds the opposition representative – he was not among those who had applied in the first announcement: those who think badly might think that the announcement was reopened on purpose”.
“Knowing the person, I think he is of value in a specific field” he pressed Ugo Sturlese (Cuneo for Common Goods), observing that “this time the Democratic Party won in the internal war within the majority”. At the end of April, Borgna’s subrogation in the Foundation was the subject of a split in the majority, culminating in the abandonment of the council meeting by the Centro per Cuneo councillors. “It seems to me that the only criterion with which foundation appointments are made is political” he adds Giancarlo Boselli (Independent): “Verlingieri, who I also have a lot of respect for, was nominated because he is from the Democratic Party”.
