Local political developments in Cuneo and Fermo

In Cuneo, Piergiuseppe Costantino has officially taken his seat on the City Council, succeeding the late Monica Pellegrino. During his inauguration speech, Costantino pledged to honor Pellegrino’s legacy and focus on security within the Quadrilatero area. To ensure transparency and avoid potential conflicts of interest, his family’s funeral business has renounced its municipal contract for deceased person recovery and services for the indigent, though it will maintain its existing subsidized rates for families.

In Fermo, Mayor Alberto Maria Scarfini has defended the administration's decision regarding Solgas, responding to criticisms from opposition parties. The administration is pursuing a merger by incorporation of Solgas into Astea. Scarfini stated that the move is a strategic choice to bet on the growing quality of Astea rather than remaining in a competitive market that poses difficulties for smaller entities. The plan aims to ensure efficient services and generate profits for the municipality over the next decade.
