Policy sometimes argues, but in the future they do not exclude marriage, they said in an interview with Corriere della Sera.

Loris Bazzo, 1976, is Mayor of Carlino with just over 2500 inhabitants in the province of Udine. The medical brother is a member of the league, first elected in 2019 and re -confirmed last year with 69 percent of the vote.

They come from different backgrounds. Basso has always been honest with homosexual, and Baszo, who is also the father of two children, took more time to disclose. They met for a friendly dinner and again in politics. They have been together since 2021, which they did not hide. Therefore, they received some media attention, but soon settled, but never received attacks or discrimination due to their sexual orientation, they said.

They are brought together by a passion for politics: “It is the true salt of our story and our daily lives. Because of politics, we sometimes argue, but try to calm down quickly, because we want to spend the few hours we can spend together without disturbance, « they told the newspaper.

They had two election campaigns in two years, but they have successfully completed them, including in their daily lives. “When I ran again last year, my partner stood by my side, including tips and orientations. But I retreated from his campaign, I prefer to support him in a different way: every night, when he came home after difficult and demanding days, I always waited for him, « said Loris Bazzo.

Alessandro Basso, however, is a great chef and cooks for everyone. Regardless of being separated by 60 kilometers, they each live in their place, their local communities are in the first place. « We are not married today, but we don’t exclude that we will one day, » said lovers who have – interesting – almost the same surname.
