Early life
He was born in La Spezia, Italy, moving to Scotland when he was seven.[1] He studied European politics and French at the University of Edinburgh.[1]
Political career
Giugliano's political career started as President of the Young European Movement in the United Kingdom.
In 2007, he was elected Vice-President of the Young European Federalists for a two-years term. The main aims of the organisation at that time were the creation of transnational lists for the European Parliament elections, a federal agenda for a European government, and the relaunch of the constitutional process through the call for a constituent assembly.[2] Giugliano's key actions were the call for an official recognition of the European flag and the European anthem in the EU Treaties,[3] the demand for an EU foreign policy to terminate Lukashenko's dictatorship in Belarus,[4][5] and the establishment of a single Team EU at the 2008 Summer Olympics.[6]
He also worked for the SNP in Brussels.[1] In the City of Edinburgh Council election, 2012 he managed the SNP's campaign in Colinton/ Fairmilehead ward.[1]
He was selected by the SNP to stand as one of their candidates for the six Scottish seats in the European Parliament election, 2014, although he was fifth on their list and the outcome of the voting was that the SNP returned two MEPs.[7]
He was an active campaigner during the Scottish independence referendum, 2014.[8][9] He was head of interest groups at Yes Scotland.[10][11]
He was formerly an aide to Colin Keir, the SNP Member of the Scottish Parliament for Edinburgh Western.[12] In August 2015, Giugliano was selected as the SNP's candidate for Edinburgh Western in the Scottish Parliament election, 2016, instead of Keir.[13]
He is convener of the SNP's Edinburgh city association[1] and a member of the SNP's national executive.[14]
Life outside politics
In 2010, he appeared on Channel 4's television programme Come Dine with Me.[15][16]
