MEET Anthony.
Anthony’s great-grandparents emigrated from Italy over 100 years ago, settled down in Quincy Point, and worked hard to make a better life for their family. During his time in public service, Anthony has worked to advocate for those in his community so more families could have the opportunity to do the same. As your Councillor, Anthony has pledged to make resources more accessible and decision-making more transparent to better serve the people of Quincy.
Serving as a member of the Quincy School Committee from 2018-2021, and as Vice Chair from January 2020 – January 2021, was a challenging yet rewarding experience. Although Anthony and his colleagues could not have foreseen the impact of COVID-19, by working collaboratively, the committee was able to navigate the crisis while balancing the needs of the families they served and public health. Under Anthony’s tenure as Vice Chair, the committee successfully implemented a transparent search process for a new superintendent; launched a new website to better serve the public; worked to safely and responsibly reopen our schools amidst the pandemic; and established an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion subcommittee to discuss the difficult issues of our time.
Outside of Anthony’s role on the City Council, he also serves as a legislative aide in the State Senate, working to make the Commonwealth a better place to live, work, and raise a family. It's a job that has required Anthony to quickly understand complex issues and legislation – such as the Student Opportunity Act or the latest public health guidance – and be able to effectively communicate their impact to the public. However, the most critical part of the role has always been assisting residents and ensuring they receive the services they deserve as taxpayers.
Anthony is a lifelong resident of Quincy and proud graduate of the Quincy Public Schools. He attended Emmanuel College in Boston where he studied Political Science and Economics. Anthony currently resides in Ward 2 with his fiancée, Hannah.
