Lorenzo joined the ALDA Team as an Intern in August 2024, with the role of Project Manager Assistant, to complete his second level Master’s degree in Participatory Planning named “ProPart”, at the IUAV University.
He holds a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Philosophy at the “Sapienza” University in Rome, which he combined with Urban Studies following his deep interest in city development and bottom-up space shaping processes. This passion brought him to work as City Councillor in Rome and to participate in different projects for the access to the “right to the city”.
Strongly believing in the interconnection between local and global dimensions, in the past years Lorenzo joined different cooperation missions in Ukraine and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, working on local communities’ empowerment projects in close connection with the territorial stakeholders and international NGOs such as Mediterranea. He also collaborates with different Italian newspapers.
Lorenzo is a native Italian speaker, fluent in English and with solid communicative skills in Spanish.
