I did my military service in the Air Force as a second lieutenant; I passed the exams as a prosecutor at the Court of Appeal of Bologna in October 1969 and I began my self-employed career, which I initially carried out without any choice of field, then mainly in the criminal field (especially with regard to environmental issues, accidents at work and corporate crimes), labour and family law in the firm that was already my father’s and my grandfather’s.
In January 1970 I was elected a member of the Council of the Bar Association, of which I was a member for four rounds until 1976.
