Carmelo Burgio will be the candidate of Futuro Nazionale for the upcoming municipal elections in Milan. This was announced by Roberto Vannacci from the Versiliana stage, already explaining who he is and what experience he has gained. Burgio is “a general of the carabinieri, a man of the institutions,” who “has worked at the Anti-Mafia Investigative Directorate and has been a paratrooper.”

Great experience in security
“We will run in all the big cities, in Milan, Bologna, Rome, just as we will run in the general elections,” said Vannacci who then, referring again to Burgio, emphasized: “He has great experience in security and if we asked him to sweep Rogoredo he would know how to do it, without the advice of Prefect Gabrielli. Milan can become the City of the Madonnina again and not of the Maranza,” Vannacci pointed out.
The experience
As a paratrooper, he has made over 700 jumps in his career. His resume also includes the leadership of the Schools of the Arma and the Interregional Commands Culqualber (Calabria and Sicily) and Podgora (Lazio, Marche, Sardinia, Tuscany, and Umbria).

On mission from Lebanon to Afghanistan
Burgio has participated in international missions in Lebanon, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, Iraq, and Afghanistan and has received numerous decorations. Among others, the Knight’s Cross of the Military Order of Italy, bronze medal for valor of the Arma, Gold Cross of Merit of the Arma, two Bronze Crosses of Merit of the Army, and the US Legion of Merit.
Open game for candidates
After Vannacci’s move, the chessboard for the 2027 Milan municipal elections heats up even more. In the center-right, the Lega organized gazebos in mid-June to choose the candidate preferred by the Carroccio electorate, where leader Matteo Salvini came first ahead of deputy Silvia Sardone. Among the names that have circulated so far in the political area of the current Government majority is that of the leader of Noi Moderati, Maurizio Lupi, sponsored by the President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa.
