Graduated in Business Economics at the University of Genoa, Pastorino began his career in 2000 as a financial advisor, but his political career had already begun a few years earlier: from 1997 to 2006 he has been a city councilor in Bogliasco. In 2006, Pastorino has been elected Mayor of Bogliasco, supported by the centre-left coalition of The Union and held his seat for two consecutive terms, from 2006 to 2016.[1]
