The Mayor of Arezzo is an elected politician who, along with the Arezzo's City Council, is accountable for the strategic government of Arezzo in Tuscany, Italy.

The current Mayor is Alessandro Ghinelli, a centre-right independent, who took office on 16 June 2015.[1]

Overview

[edit]

According to the Italian Constitution, the Mayor of Arezzo is member of the City Council.

The Mayor is elected by the population of Arezzo, who also elect the members of the City Council, controlling the Mayor's policy guidelines and is able to enforce his resignation by a motion of no confidence. The Mayor is entitled to appoint and release the members of his government.

Since 1995 the Mayor is elected directly by Arezzo's electorate: in all mayoral elections in Italy in cities with a population higher than 15,000 the voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition. If no candidate receives at least 50% of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. The election of the City Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a preference vote: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of the seats for each party is determined proportionally.

Kingdom of Italy (1861–1946)

[edit]

In 1865, the Kingdom of Italy created the office of Mayor of Arezzo (Sindaco di Arezzo), appointed by the King himself. From 1892 to 1926 the Mayor was elected by the City council. In 1926, the Fascist dictatorship abolished mayors and City councils, replacing them with an authoritarian Podestà chosen by the National Fascist Party. The office of Mayor was restored in 1944 during the Allied occupation.[2][3]
