Mario Primicerio (born 13 November 1940 in Rome) is an Italian politician and the former Mayor of Florence.
Graduating with a degree in physics from the University of Florence,in 1970 Primicerio started teaching at the university after working as a researcher at the ionized gas laboratory in Frascati. [1] During these years he became a close collaborator of the former Mayor of Florence Giorgio La Pira.
In 1995,Primicerio ran for the office of Mayor himself on an independent center-left platform,which was supported by the former communist Democratic Party of the Left and various other progressive parties,such as the new-born Federation of the Greens and the Communist Refoundation Party. [2] The main opposition to Primicerio's coalition came from Giorgio Morales,the outgoing mayor,former member of the Italian Socialist Party and now a supporter of Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party.
Primicerio won the election on the first round and became the first elected Mayor,remaining in office until he retired from politics in 1999. [3]
He has since been appointed a visiting professor at several universities,in places such as Austin,Beijing,Helsinki,Minneapolis,Novosibirsk,Oxford,Paris,Rosario,São Carlos and Tel Aviv.

The Italian Communist Party was a communist and democratic socialist political party in Italy. It was founded in Livorno as the Communist Party of Italy on 21 January 1921,when it seceded from the Italian Socialist Party (PSI),under the leadership of Amadeo Bordiga,Antonio Gramsci,and Nicola Bombacci. Outlawed during the Italian fascist regime,the party continued to operate underground and played a major role in the Italian resistance movement. The party's peaceful and national road to socialism,or the "Italian Road to Socialism",the realisation of the communist project through democracy,repudiating the use of violence and applying the Constitution of Italy in all its parts,a strategy inaugurated under Palmiro Togliatti but that some date back to Gramsci,would become the leitmotiv of the party's history.

The Italian Republican Party is a political party in Italy established in 1895,which makes it the oldest political party still active in the country. The PRI identifies with 19th-century classical radicalism,as well as Mazzinianism,and its modern incarnation is associated with liberalism,social liberalism,and centrism. The PRI has old roots and a long history that began with a left-wing position,being the heir of the Historical Far Left and claiming descent from the political thought of Giuseppe Mazzini and Giuseppe Garibaldi. With the rise of the Italian Communist Party and the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) to its left,it was associated with centre-left politics. The early PRI was also known for its anti-clerical,anti-monarchist,republican,and later anti-fascist stances. While maintaining those traits,during the second half of the 20th century the party moved towards the centre on the left–right political spectrum,becoming increasingly economically liberal.
