Biography
He graduated with a grade of 60/60 from the Liceo Classico in Cremona in 1987. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Physics with a grade of 110/110 summa cum laude from the University of Pavia, where he was a student at the Collegio Borromeo. He subsequently earned his Ph.D. (24th cycle) from the University of Milan in January 2012, with a dissertation titled: Time-Resolved Optical Measurements on Different Carbon Nanotube Architectures.
Currently, in addition to teaching physics at a high school, he has been a contract professor at the Catholic Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Brescia since 1999. His main courses have included general physics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and physics laboratory for undergraduate students. He has also served as an adjunct professor for other courses, such as optoelectronics, physics education in the Department of Education, and physics in the Department of Agriculture.
In February 2014, he received 71.09% of the vote in the center-left primary for the municipality of Cremona, thereby becoming the candidate for mayor of the city.
In the local elections held on May 25, 2014, he emerged as the strongest challenger to the incumbent Centre-right coalition (Italy) mayor, former canoeist Oreste Perri. Galimberti’s coalition secured 45.80% of the vote in the first round, while Perri’s coalition garnered 33.31%. In the runoff on June 8, Galimberti defeated Perri with 56.31% of the vote and was elected mayor.[4]
In 2019, he ran for mayor again; in the May 26 election, he received 46.37% of the vote, advancing to a runoff against Centre-right politics candidate Carlo Malvezzi, who received 41.65%; in the runoff on June 9, Galimberti received 55.94% of the vote and was re-elected mayor.
