First he lives for long time in Brussels and reports about the problems and developments of the EU. In his view are the real problems of the people, the social segregation and the democratic development. Especially the actual economic crisis and the social consequences he brings on the floor. Second he is an activist of the Italian antifascist organization ANPI as an international representative at the European Parliament and for all Italian in Belgium."
He is one of the authors of the book Lettere dall’Europa [3] and frequently writes for the Italian Magazine Patria Indipendente [4]
