Always in the field of institutional relations, Maristella Vicini had the opportunity to address them from various points of view: within the association system, in companies, in the public sphere and at the academic level.

In the public sector she was for thirteen years Head of institutional relations of the Autonomous Province of Trento and subsequently consultant in Parliament of the bicameral Commission – Chamber and Senate – for Regional affairs.
