Ernano Marcovecchio

Ernano Marcovecchio is the mayor of Tufillo, a small town in the Chieti province of Italy. He is an advocate for the neo-rural community in his area, emphasizing their contributions to local culture and economy, and opposing negative stereotypes about them. Marcovecchio believes that these families provide a valuable antidote to rural depopulation and are actively involved in community projects, such as restoring abandoned olive groves and engaging in local theater.
