Marco Bucci, the mayor of Genoa, is courageously facing a dual challenge: battling metastatic cancer while preparing for a surprising candidacy in the upcoming regional elections.

Diagnosed with cancer in May, Bucci has undergone surgery and is currently receiving immunotherapy.

Despite his health struggles, he remains determined to contribute to his region's future, driven by a conversation with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Bucci's decision to run is seen as a strategic move, transforming a local election into a national showdown.

His candidacy symbolizes hope and resilience, as he aims to prevent Liguria from regressing under what he calls the 'lords of No.

' Bucci's journey underscores the importance of staying active and hopeful, even in the face of serious illness.
