Interview: Trieste mayor, Roberto Dipiazza
Trieste has been without a permanent prefect since Pietro Signoriello’s transfer to Sicily at the end of May, with Deputy Prefect Emanuela Milan currently overseeing the office. Mayor Roberto Dipiazza confirmed that the appointment of a new prefect will be discussed at this week’s Italian cabinet meeting in Rome. The delay comes amid ongoing administrative challenges, including increased pressure from migration flows along the Balkan route. Local officials are awaiting the formal nomination and hope the new prefect will promptly address these issues through coordinated efforts.
