SAN GIOVANNI ROTONDO, BARBANO MAYOR, THE WORDS OF THE HON. GIORGIO LOVECCHIO
“By now even mathematics provides us with confirmation that Filippo Barbano is the new mayor of San Giovanni Rotondo with around 2000 votes ahead of his opponent. In Giuseppe Conte’s country, this result is a confirmation that the 5 Star Movement is alive and still has a lot to give to this land and the proof had already arrived with the reconfirmation of Mario Furore to the European Parliament. The city of San Pio returns to see a doctor-mayor and so far this combination has proved positive, as happened in the time of Francesco Morcaldi. Filippo Barbano is an esteemed professional, a serious person, a meticulous man who loves to carry out his work with determination, as he does every day at Casa Sollievo. His figure will be important for the relaunch of the country. My compliments go to Michele Crisetti, a loyal opponent, as well as to all the mayors who prevailed in the run-offs and are preparing to lead their respective countries.”
The Honorable Lovecchio says so.
