Maria Mariani has been appointed as the new director of the ASP Catanzaro provincial health agency. This appointment follows the departure of General Antonio Battistini, who moved to lead the ASP of Vibo Valentia.

The leadership change occurs amidst a period of controversy and legal scrutiny for the agency. A recent court ruling annulled a previous resolution and required the ASP to cover legal costs related to the appointment of a Clinical Engineering manager, Giuseppe Romano. Local officials have noted that this transition marks a “new phase” for the organization, with increasing calls for administrative transparency and stricter adherence to collective contracts.
