Capodieci of S. George

Born on Octber 4, 1958, he currently resides in the neighborhood of the Parochial Church of Colonnata. He is a manager at STB (Transport Services of the A. Barbetti Cement factory), tel. 335-5749800.
He grew up in the Padule area and it was here that as a young boy his love for the S. George cero was forged. He was only 11 when he stole away on his brother's moped to take part in the Festa dei Ceri, fully aware that he would not get away with it when he got back home.
When he was 15, his points of reference for the Ceri were: Lili Nazzareno ("Nino del Conte"), Rodolfo Bedini ("Pipi de Ciaccione"), Alessandro Ragnacci ("Lallo o Duce"), Franco Fronduti ("Morrino"), the Micheletti brothers (Oscar, Nicola and Domenico), Adolfo Borio, Giacomo Ceccarelli and Alfiero Mengoni.
At the end of the '80's and the early '90's, he took over the integral role of advisor in the Family of Sangiorgiari.
Today, after having been a valiant cero bearer in the "Meli" pack from the age of 17, he carries the cero on the tract of Via XX Settembre.
Mario was elected Capodieci on January 12, 2003 by the General Assembly of the Ceraioli of S. George, held at the Arconi under Piazza Grande. 611 ceri bearers participated in the vote.

He remained in Geneva with his family until 1974. During his absence, he returned often, even during the festival to lend a helping "shoulder" to S. George, on the mountain section.
He returned to Gubbio for good and carried on his work as a mason, first with his brother in law Bocci Ennio's firm and later with the firm of Tonino Wladimiro Fiorucci (who suddenly passed away recently). He worked for the rest of his career at this firm.
Enrolled at the University of Bricklayers in 1981, he was added to the "Bossolo" in 2000 and was removed from it on May 15, 2001.
In spite of his passion for the "Santo Guerriero" (Saint Warrior), he does not enjoy horseback riding, but he is steadfastly learning on Romina, the famous mare from the stables of Fernando Bettelli.
