Paola Fortuna

She is the current mayor of the Vicenza municipality of Pojana Maggiore, serving her third term with the civic list Crescere con Voi. Her journey combines long experience in the world of teaching with a deep civic passion, elements that have led her to conceive administration as a natural extension of her educational and social commitment. During her terms in office, she has promoted concrete and strategic projects for the development of the area. Particularly significant is also the cycle path currently under construction that will connect Pojana to Noventa Vicentina, an intervention that integrates sustainable mobility, safety and tourist enhancement. Alongside infrastructure, Paola Fortuna has dedicated great attention to community welfare. In 2025 she supported the opening of an Anti-Violence Helpdesk and a Listening Helpdesk, created in collaboration with the Veneto Region, the ULSS, law enforcement agencies and local associations: a fundamental protection and support service for women victims of violence. One aspect she particularly cares about is the commitment to young people, considered the true future of the community. Through cultural, educational and social initiatives, she aims to strengthen the sense of belonging and create new opportunities for growth and participation, so that new generations can choose to live and build their future in Pojana Maggiore. Her work is characterised by attention to the hamlets and outlying areas, the promotion of culture and the creation of innovative services. With strong roots in the area and a forward-looking vision, Paola Fortuna today represents a point of reference for her citizens and an example of attentive, concrete and people-centred administration.
