Teaching Career

See also: Education in Gibraltar

Adolfo Canepa was born in London, whilst most of Gibraltar's civilian population had been evacuated during World War II. Prior to his involvement in local politics, Canepa was already well known as part of a team of teachers at the Gibraltar Grammar School who helped the Christian Brothers to mould an entire generation of Gibraltarians. He later left teaching, at considerable sacrifice for his wife Julie and young family at the time, to pursue a career in politics.
