Responsibilities

I am 32 and come from the Sorrento Peninsula, in the metropolitan area of Naples. I graduated in law with a thesis on marine protected areas regulation linked to sustainable tourism. As a lawyer I have been working with a firm in the field of environmental and agrifood law, assisting companies with compliance to environmental laws and becoming more sustainable.  Since 2018 I have been volunteering in the field of sea protection with the association Marevivo. Since 2022 I lead the local delegation of the Sorrento Peninsula. For about two years I was the Councillor for the Environment of the City of Sorrento and I implemented projects related to green cities, reforestation, protection of the sea, hiking and sustainable mobility, waste reduction, promotion of reuse and circular economy. My commitment is to increase awareness about the key role of the sea protection in climate action, also promoting a sustainable development of Sorrento local fish supply chain.
