SOLINAS
"Sardinian politics loses another very important exponent, a serious and prepared gentleman who with his experience and his long activity in the service of Sardinia has accompanied important historical and political moments", is the comment of President Christian Solinas. "In his duties as councilor and regional councilor, provincial councilor and vice president of the province of Nuoro, his territory of origin, he has always maintained with competence and seriousness a profile up to the challenges of the moment".
