Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, inquiry into municipal leases: Citterio's name in the complaints
The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office inquiry into spaces leased by the Municipality to private parties — including those in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele — counts among its protagonists Rudy Citterio, an entrepreneur active for thirty years in the Milan nightlife sector. This is reported by Il Fatto Quotidiano - Cronaca, which reconstructs the man's role in the file opened by prosecutor Grazia Colacicco.
Citterio's name was provided by Massimiliano Lisa, who cited him in complaints presented roughly a year ago to the Guardia di finanza. Those documents gave rise to the ongoing inquiry. According to Lisa, Citterio operates as an informal intermediary in relations between private entrepreneurs and the public administration.
Lisa denounces what he defines as opaque management of the spaces in the Galleria leased by the Municipality, including the premises where the Leonardo 3 Museum is located, managed by Lisa himself.
In recent months, Lisa ran for Milan mayor with the civic list Milano libera. The list nominated Tiziana Siciliano as mayoral candidate and assessor for transparency, the former deputy prosecutor who had launched investigations into Milan urban planning and who, after retiring last December, declared her willingness to stand on Lisa's list.
Rodolfo Citterio, born in Desio in 1959, held leadership roles in Silb, the Italian Syndicate of Dance Halls, and in Fipe, the Italian Federation of Public Establishments, affiliated with Confcommercio. In 2010 he was involved in an inquiry into Milan nightlife establishments and relations with public officials, resulting in house arrest, but was subsequently discharged.
