A Geologist by profession, he has been married to Lorella Ostinelli since 1984, with whom he has three children. [5]

In 2002, he was elected to the Como City Council for La Margherita, becoming its leader. He was re-elected to the council in 2007, elected on the Ulivo list, and in 2010 became leader of the Democratic Party (Italy).

In 2011, he ran in the Centre-left politics primary elections for the selection of the mayoral candidate and, winning on November 27 with 49.4% of the vote, secured the nomination. [6]

He therefore stood in the 2012 local elections as leader of a coalition formed by the Democratic Party (Italy), Paco-Sel, Italia dei Valori, Como Civica and Amo la mia città, two civic lists, finishing in the lead in the first round on May 6 and 7 with 35.5% of the votes. [7] In the runoff two weeks later, against the The People of Freedom candidate Laura Bordoli, he was elected mayor with 74.9% of the vote.

His victory marked the first election of a center-left representative as mayor of Como since direct elections for mayor were introduced. [8]

In the investigation by the Como Public Prosecutor's Office into public contracts and flood barriers along the lakefront, he is under investigation for interference with the freedom to choose a contractor and for ideological falsehood. [9]

As previously stated, [10] he has decided not to run for a second term in the 2017 local elections.
