The council candidate who won the
most votes in Verona's municipal elections on Sunday is a
second-generation immigrant from Togo, 28-year-old Veronica
Atitsogbe.
Born in Verona from Togolese parents, a political science
graduate, she works in a bank and is among the founders of the
Afroveronesi community relations association.
It will be her honour to chair the first council meeting under
new centre-left mayor Damiano Tommasi, a former Hellas Verona
and Italy midfielder who won the scudetto with AS Roma in 2001.
