The mayor of Florence (Italian : sindaco di Firenze) is an elected politician who, along with the Florence City Council of 36 members, is accountable for the strategic government of Florence. The title is the equivalent of Lord Mayor in the meaning of an actual executive leader. The office of Gonfaloniere was created in 1781 by Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany. It was replaced by the office of mayor in 1865, during the early Kingdom of Italy. The incumbent mayor of Florence is Sara Funaro of the Democratic Party, who was elected on 23–24 June 2024.

Overview

Palazzo Vecchio is the seat of the mayor of Florence.

According to the Italian Constitution, the mayor of Florence is member of Florence's city council. The title of mayor is not held by the heads of the five boroughs of Florence because they do not actually preside over self-governmental municipalities, and instead is elected by the population of Florence. Citizens also elect the members of the Florence City Council, which also controls 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 Florence'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. The seat of the city council is the city hall Palazzo Vecchio in Piazza della Signoria.
