After World War II, Vecchioni lived in Massa Marittima at the Cicalino estate and held several local leadership positions, including the first president of the Massa Marittima Rotary Club, president of the local mining institute, and vice-president of both the Grosseto Agricultural Consortium and the provincial farmers' union.[3]
