Vittoria assessor takes municipal case to Rome's Festival delle città

Giuseppe Nicastro, the public works assessor of the Comune di Vittoria, represented the municipality at the Festival delle città in Rome, a gathering promoted by Leganet and Ali and devoted to the challenges and prospects of local authorities. He attended on delegation from the mayor, Francesco Aiello, and brought the administrative experience of Vittoria and the principal questions concerning Italian municipalities to the national debate, according to the reports.

The case he carried is set out in the headline formulation of the coverage: "Servono Comuni più forti, personale qualificato e meno burocrazia" — stronger municipalities, qualified staff and less bureaucracy. In remarks quoted in the reports, Nicastro described the event as "un'occasione importante di confronto con amministratori provenienti da tutta Italia", adding that he had been able to represent the needs of his territory and the work the municipal administration carries out daily.

One report datelines the intervention to Rome, 2 October 2026. The coverage frames the Vittoria contribution as an exchange with administrators from across Italy, convened by Leganet and Ali around the state of Italian local government, with the assessor's stated requirements — institutional strength, qualified personnel and administrative simplification — addressed to that national audience rather than to any single interlocutor identified in the reports.

The accounts available consist of the opening sections of the reports on Nicastro's participation and do not set out further steps arising from the Rome meetings.
