Paolo Truzzu, a 51-year-old from Cagliari, a member of FdI, is mayor of Cagliari and the metropolitan city, in office since July 2019. A graduate in political science, father of two daughters, in 2014 he was elected regional councilor for the first time with Fratelli d 'Italy, position repeated five years later, before resigning from the Regional Council to become mayor of the Sardinian capital.
Truzzu is considered an iron Melonian.
Political militancy and friendship with the prime minister even when the FdI percentages were below 5%.
A bond that goes back a long way, when the party didn't even exist.
Truzzu and Meloni were students and militants in the nineties.
The center-right gubernatorial candidate was the last city leader of the Fuan, then he joined associations linked to the National Alliance.
The friendship with Giorgia Meloni consolidates with the national holiday of Atreju.
A super Cagliari fan, Truzzu was among the founders of some ultras groups at the end of the 80s.
He still goes to the stadium, season ticket in the distinct sector, not in the authority stands.
Among the works underway during his mandate, the restyling of Via Roma, the central artery of Cagliari, stands out: it should be transformed into a large tree-lined square in front of the sea in a scenario that also includes the passage of the new surface metro.
The new central promenade - this is Truzzu's indication in recent weeks - will be named after Gigi Riva, the champion of Leggiuno who passed away a month ago.
The construction sites still open at the same time in different areas of the city have created controversy among residents and traders affected by the works.
