Career
Prior to his election, Di Ciano worked as a manager for Gross Securities, a Toronto real estate investment firm, and was active in the community as a cofounder of the Jean Augustine Centre for Young Women's Empowerment and as a director of the Toronto Ribfest.He ran in the same ward in the 2010 election, losing narrowly to incumbent councillor Peter Milczyn.
On March 8, 2018 the Toronto Star first reported that Di Ciano was being investigated by the OPP's anti-racket's branch, known for investigating enterprise crime and complex fraud, for "potential violations of the Municipal Elections Act." On November 16, 2018 the OPP charged Di Ciano along with Mark Grimes for allegedly filing false campaign expenses for the 2014 municipal elections, contrary to the Municipal Elections Act.
As a result of the ward boundary changes imposed on the City of Toronto by the Ontario Provincial Government in 2018 Ward 5 and Ward 6 were consolidated to make a new larger Ward 3. DiCiano announced he would not seek re-election in the larger new Ward.
