Italian Mayor of Riace in the Calabria region is 40th in Fortune magazine's ranking of the world's 50 greatest leaders for his work in rejuvenating the once-dwindling town by recognising the potential of immigrants in a way that could prove a model amid Europe's refugee crisis.
Domenico (Mimmo) Lucano was the only Italian on the list and he is well known for having welcomed thousands of refugees to the Calabrian town, previously only famous for the two male bronzes that were fished out of the sea in 1972 and are celebrated as supreme achievements in Greek art as the Riace Bronzes.
