Laterza, Adesso’s mayoral nominee, has stances on policing, transportation and education that suggest a shift from Mayor Dipiazza.
“Trieste is ready for a change. We want to build an inclusive city, with more possibilities for everyone” Laterza told us.
“We want the city of Trieste to be modern and more European,” added Giulia Massolino.
Mr. Laterza, who would be the city’s first under 40 mayor, would face other steep challenges: steering the city out of the pandemic; navigating the possibility of a new City Council; grappling with significant budget deficits.
How he intends to accomplish it all is still somewhat theoretical, but he has offered a few concrete proposals mixed in with broader ideas.
“We want every part of the city to be upgraded, for Trieste to have more green areas, more public safety and for the city to live up to its full potential” said Laterza.
Lateriza is running in the mayoral elections to be held in Trieste 3-4 October.
