Reggio Calabria Mayor Cannizzaro focuses on youth engagement

In Reggio Calabria, Mayor Francesco Cannizzaro is focusing on youth engagement as a core component of his administration. Recent observations highlight a significant turnout of young people at the inauguration of a new public bridge, an event typically dominated by officials and technicians.

Cannizzaro’s approach aims to move beyond traditional political rhetoric regarding the youth by assigning them political responsibilities and involving them directly in shaping the city’s identity. This strategy seeks to address the issue of youth emigration by fostering a sense of belonging and active participation in the local community.
