Design a paradigm shift
How
had asked by a dear friend, I will try to tell how the idea of \u200b\u200bmy candidacy for Mayor of Lesignano.
I'm originally from this small town in the province of Parma. During my years of study in Florence Lesignano back often, and every time I noticed a missing piece. A piece of the history of these rural communities that no longer existed. I thought something should be done to counter this type of policy that the interests of a few at the expense of many.
In this regard, together with some friends we founded a cultural association named "Invisible Cities" taking inspiration from the famous book by Italo Calvino. With Cities invisible we have promoted local cultural events to restore vitality to the area, which was turning into a large dormitory area. For example, we established a Rugby team-Parma for children, we have set a course for the little theater that has reverberated well as parents, who have set up a course Successive theater for adults. Also, with this association we have had the opportunity to collaborate with other local associations and publications and we have organized conferences on issues of national importance of land and land use.
About a year ago, we strengthened locally opposing the privatization plans of the Baths of Lesignano. A project in which the administration local government was allowed to bet huge amounts of public money in a sector which is in great crisis. The majority of the population of Lesignano did not believe in this project.
E 'at this point that we decided to introduce local elections in exposing himself, knowing full well what it means to be exposed publicly in such a small country and rooted.
About a year ago we gathered a group of citizens lesignanesi tired of this kind of politics. This group has always been close-knit and united on a common program whose theme was programmed cetral the decrease in the consumption of soil.
Who composed this group has chosen to nominate me as a person for mayor, because young and skilled in urban planning.
I have accepted with honor this commitment and with this group of people we have studied the campaign. Some local informants say that he had never seen a campaign so well done.
I gathered around me all the intelligence known to date, and together we plan the communication, marketing, technology be put in place.
have defined several levels of operation:
- web tier;
- level press releases
- level thematic meetings;
- village level meetings;
- level brochures;
- posters level.
I worked a lot on the web tier because I believe a lot in this instrument. In fact, the strategies pursued on the internet have led to:
web1.1) the creation of a mailing-list public
web1.2) the creation of a private mailing list;
web2.1) the creation of an SMS- list public
web2.2) the creation of an SMS-list private,
MyWeb3) the creation of a group on facebook;
web4) the creation of a website dedicated (we were the only electoral list with website )
web5) to upload video content.
I established a press office meetings, writing articles and news related to the list. The press office was in direct contact with local newspapers for throughout the election period. In addition, he supervised the par-playing field of the articles published by various political groups, to ensure the same print space to all.
Before submitting an article to the office we have sent to the mailing-list asking private feedbacks after this step, the article was improved and then sent it to the newspaper for publication. The system of feedbacks from the passage of the private group has ensured maximum effectiveness of the content.
For example, the logo was created by a sketch of Luca Bocedi and found his clothes by the final demand feedbacks on Facebook. We have gone from the logo to 8 bits (2 ^ 3), logo to 6 points (2 * 3) and finally we set at 7 points (first number, biblical number, etc). The color of the logo has been changed from purple to orange based on feedbacks have on facebook. I personally believe that no brains develop more information than just a brain, the feedbacks are invaluable and essential to decrease the number of errors and to improve the content.
Unlike the local traditions and customs I have not been content to do the traditional village meetings, but I wanted to organize four thematic meetings in which I invited organizations and intellectuals to tell us how interesting projects do not require large investments, but only to political will. All thematic meetings have been filmed and put online .
The four themes were:
- Women;
- Municipalities virtuous
- Projects for children and families;
- The boys.
That's why we invited Marco Boschini, coordinator of the National virtuous community, Silvia Sedazzari , founder of the project walking bus to Bicester and Andrea Cantini, architect and journalist who spoke to us about the project Coriandoline of Correggio.
addition to these thematic meetings have also been made of the traditional village meetings that gave us visibility in smaller villages in the area. At the level of
brochure we worked a lot, since the beginning the campaign had not yet made the whole group, but we needed to have suffered a paper outlining the team and that is why we have developed a brochure (1000 copies) in which I personally presented to the citizens of Lesignano and wondering where their participation.
The second brochure (5000 copies), the final one with all the smiley faces and the election program, was completed and distributed at the end, trying to point to the maximum and simplify the right content.
As for brochures, posters for the second time we worked on near and far. In the first instance we have printed 100 posters that had the logo of the group (not yet final) and a space to write date and place of meetings. These posters were useful to spread a continuous presence in the area.
The second manifesto printed in only 10 copies (bearing in mind that some copies were torn, and so was the case) covered my face more than a slogan, and it was thought to be pasted on the 3 (* 2 = 6) cockpits election premises.
The results showed that our campaign was successful. fact we won the section of the capital and nearly won (by just 7 votes) section of the major fraction of Santa Maria del Piano. Where we took our enthusiasm and our ideas
innovative, we have enjoyed great success and we proved to be even better parties. Personal satisfaction, political parties as we beat League / PDL and ran together. The population of Lesignano is ready for a real breakthrough.
with my fellow elected city council decided not to collect attendance fees (about 450 Euro per person each year), but to donate to the group Lesignano Civic, for the organization of conferences, local events or to promote small projects.

How To Build A Full Size Horse Sleigh
The SCRAN Creaks
Flickr photos with # / @ i_gallagher
Some post-election thoughts through my head, the first of which concerns the political division of Lesignano.
Cavatorta administer with 33% of the vote. administer in the minority. His list than five years ago has lost more than 8 percentage points, in contrast to what he told the Gazzetta di Parma was a real failure.
generally have poorly managed and can not do better because they are always the same, some seniors are now in council for 30 years, Cavatorta / Beadle for 15 years.
The population has expressed a desire for change, willingness to improve the country relative to a different paradigm. lesignanesi I have promoted by Perlini discontinuity, which took only 33 as a common lesignanese preferences, and indeed of the electoral Lesignano has been won from our list , to Santa Maria we almost won (lost by 7 votes).
If we were in a municipality with more than 15,000 inhabitants, and today we went to the ballot , Riccardi against Cavatorta, the result would be granted. The "SCRAN" would already be broken. For this reason, along with other friends, independent trade unions are considering a proposal for legislative changes to allow the runoff even in small towns where you do not achieve at least 40% of the vote. The government
Perlini / Cavatorta / Zibana is creaking. you get older, the base culture is not renewed, and who is being renovated is the son of one who was already there (see Albarelli ), or the children escape and return to his father (see Comma ), or recycles who twice made the leap the quail (see Gandolfi).
The "SCRAN" creaks. Creaks loudly.
capital The seat was won by "For Lesignano Civic. A little Santamaria enough yet, only 6 votes. The mountain part is harder, tougher, more diffused and fragmented. The work ahead is still long, but the forces are there, we are many and we will hear many .
With these brief thoughts I want to thank those who supported me in this intense period, in which we held more than 10 public meetings and we met the real Lesignano. The Lesignano abandoned, not heard: the citizens, the poor, the unemployed, the sick.
I have a perception of a Lesignano in difficulty, where administrators have only been able to make great proclamations election and have invested their time and public money to be beautiful in the face of the many. But many are not blind and see, and hear, and inform.
We hit hard. The "SCRAN" creaks.
Who was informed, who was informed about the truth of the facts, chose my list. A list composed of citizens and citizens of Lesignano outside the interests of the parties. Parties. That taught me how a dear friend of Florence, the parties are nothing more than the past participle of the verb go. Especially in small communities like Lesignano.
In small municipality has the people and ideas. ideas run fast on young legs and young people between 5 years we will be rejuvenated and stronger than ever.
Reinforced well "SCRAN", but there will be "SCRAN" that can withstand against the new wind is rising.
The "SCRAN" creaks. Let's do it!
