Luca Poma (Turin, 16 February 1972) is an Italian journalist, university professor, writer, and political adviser, having served as an adviser to the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata.

## Biography

Poma began his career in 1990. In 1994, he was appointed as a member of the Regional Youth Committee. In 1995 he was the press officer for Amnesty International for northwest Italy. In 2012, during the Sixteenth Legislative period, he was the adviser to the Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata, a role he has kept even after the Minister's resignation in 2013. He worked alongside the diplomat Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata in delivering initiatives on human rights, on climate change, COVID-19 pandemic intervention, and on the rule of law.
In 2013, he published Caro Ministro (Dear Minister), published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome. The book included a detailed interview of foreign minister Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata. The book retraced a full year of Italian foreign politics under Terzi.
In 2016, he became teacher of a department at LUMSA, where he teaches at the first chair in reputation management established in Italy. In 2017, he became a department chairman at the University of Bologna and at the University of the Republic of San Marino. He also lectured on Health Systems and Traditional Medicine at the University of Milano-Bicocca.
Poma was also present in the "red zone" during the Notre-Dame de Paris fire on 15 April 2019.
As a journalist, Poma has contributed to news publications and organizations such as Linkiesta, Sky TG24, Ferpi News, Coach Magazine, and Etica News.

## Controversies relating to Scientology

By his own admission, Poma attended the Church of Scientology in the 1990s. However, he later dissociated himself with an open letter with which he criticised the actions of the organization, giving interviews on national media about his public dissociation with the Church of Scientology. Later, Poma alleged that he had been the target of smear tactics, denouncing harassment against him by anonymous people.
