Mayor of Grottaglie

For the past five years I have lived in Nagoya and before that a couple of other cities.  Not once did I see or meet the mayor of the city I was living in.  I have lived in Grottaglie for about two weeks and have seen and been near the Mayor twice already.

 Not the best photos, but the guy in the red and white stripe shirt is the Mayor, according to Wikipedia his name is Ciro.  Next time I see him walking around I hope to meet and confirm his name, make sure wikipedia is correct.
