Originally from Palinuro, Merola is a candidate in the Civic List Fontana President – Lombardia Ideal. «I have not denied my Christian Democrat origins – he explains – the list is the result of an agreement without a symbol between the UDC and Fontana. I’m picking up the center world.”

The “people bank”

«When Fontana asked me if I would like to race at the regional championships, I was flattered and proud. It was an attention that in the places where I usually live no one has ever paid me. I did it with a sporting and goliardic spirit». First of all, Merola gathered around his name all the Cilento citizens who moved to Milan. «I organize various evenings to meet my countrymen, where the governor sometimes comes too. My bank is the people, for the first time I am campaigning for myself». Out of friendship, but only out of friendship towards Merola, one of these evenings was organized by the former deputy and former president of the Province Alfonso Andriawhich recently did not renew its Pd membership card.
