This Thursday, Jean-Luc Gagliogo, deputy to the mayor of Nice, received the insignia of officer in the Order of Academic Palms from the hands of Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Nice, during a ceremony at the Villa Massena.
Jean-Luc Gagliogo, a teacher of French and Provençal languages, is an example for all those who wish to combine their professional career with a strong republican commitment. As deputy to the mayor, he dedicates time to the city council and to teaching.
But why this distinction? According to Mr. Estrosi, “it is about honoring a person who serves children and who remains grounded in real life despite their political responsibilities.” Gagliogo has the desire to continue being present with his students, which is admirable.
He is a man of culture, of theater, of sport, and of intellect. Reading holds a special place in his life, providing him with an indescribable magic. His journey in education, culture, and the history of heritage has enabled him to convey his knowledge in a modern way in our 21st-century society. “Tending to others, being attentive, putting your heart into it, bringing a generous dimension—you bring all of that, Jean-Luc,” emphasized Christian Estrosi before presenting him with the insignia.
