The president of the Province of Pisa is the head of the provincial government in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy. The president oversees the administration of the province, coordinates the activities of the municipalities, and represents the province in regional and national matters. The provincial government is headquartered in the Palazzo della Provincia in Pisa, where the council chamber is located. Since October 2018, the office has been held by Massimiliano Angori of the Democratic Party.[1][2]
The Provincial Deputation was established in 1861 following the unification of Italy, serving as the executive branch of the province alongside the Provincial Council, which acts as the legislative body. Until 1889, the role of president of the deputation was held by the prefect. The first president elected in 1889 was Emilio Bianchi, who served until 1893.[3][4]
During the Fascist regime (1926–1944), the Provincial Rectorate replaced the deputation, and presidents were appointed by the central government. After World War II, the Provincial Deputation was briefly reinstated (1944–1951) before the modern office of the President of the Province was established in 1951, elected by the Provincial Council.[4]
From 1995 to 2014, the president was elected directly by the citizens of the province. Following the 2014 Delrio reform, presidents are elected by the Assembly of the mayors and municipal councillors of the province's municipalities, and the term of office was reduced from five to four years.[5]
