Guillermo Jorge del Cioppo (19 July 1930 – 29 October 2004) was an Argentine politician who served as intendente (mayor) of Buenos Aires from 1983 to 1983, appointed by the military dictatorship that ruled the country at the time.
Del Cioppo was born on 19 July 1930 in Buenos Aires. In his youth, he married María Marta Arce, with whom he had three children. He completed his secondary education at the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires before earning a law degree from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) Facultyo of Law.[1]
Between 1956 and 1957, he served as an advisor at Argentina's Ministry of the Interior. His political trajectory advanced in 1970 when he was appointed Chief of Staff for the Advisory Cabinet during Brigadier Aguirre's municipal administration. By 1975, he had joined the Promotional Committee of the Movimiento Línea Popular, a political organization aligned with the Peronist movement led by Francisco Manrique.[1]
During the mayoralty of Osvaldo Cacciatore (1976–1982), del Cioppo chaired the Municipal Housing Commission, the agency responsible for overseeing the controversial removal of informal settlements (villas de emergencia) in Buenos Aires. This period coincided with Argentina's last military dictatorship, during which urban policy became increasingly exclusionary.[2]
