Salvatore Iacolino (born 18 November 1963, Favara) is an Italian politician.
In 1981 he graduated from the classical high school in Agrigento. He graduated in Law from the University of Palermo and from 1992 became an official and manager of the Public Administration in the health sector in the province of Agrigento. He became the administrative director of the ASL n. 1 of Agrigento (2001-2005). In 2005 he was appointed by the regional council chaired by Salvatore Cuffaro, general manager of the ASL n 6 of Palermo (until 2009).
He was appointed municipal assessor of Agrigento from 1997 to 2001 by the mayor Calogero Sodano, in Forza Italia. On 6 and 7 June 2009 he ran for the European Parliament, being elected from the ranks of the People of Freedom. He officially took office on July 14 of the same year. [1] He became Vice-President of the Commission for Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs of the European Parliament until 2014.
In the Sicilian regional elections of 2012 he was a candidate for the Sicilian Regional Assembly on the list of the PDL in the Agrigento constituency, but he was not elected despite the 4,972 preferences. In the general election of 2013 he was candidate to the Senate with the Great South list in Sicily (in second place, behind Gianfranco Miccichè), he was not elected. It therefore joined Forza Italia.
In 2014 he was again a candidate to the European Parliament on the Forza Italia list, but he was not re-elected, so he returned as administrative manager to the provincial health authority of Agrigento.
In the Sicilian regional elections of November 5, 2017 he ran for the ARS again with the Union of the Centre in the province of Agrigento, but was not elected.
The Union of the Centre, whose complete name is Union of Christian and Centre Democrats, is a Christian-democratic political party in Italy. Lorenzo Cesa is the party's current secretary; Pier Ferdinando Casini was for years the most recognisable figure and de facto leader of the party, before eventually distancing from it in 2016. The UdC is a member of the European People's Party (EPP) and the Centrist Democrat International (CDI), of which Casini was president from 2004 to 2015.

The Sicilian Mafia Commission, known as Commissione or Cupola, is a body of leading Sicilian Mafia members to decide on important questions concerning the actions of, and settling disputes within the Sicilian Mafia or Cosa Nostra. It is composed of representatives of a mandamento that are called capo mandamento or rappresentante. The Commission is not a central government of the Mafia, but a representative mechanism for consultation of independent Mafia families who decide by consensus. "Contrary to the wide-spread image presented by the media, these superordinate bodies of coordination cannot be compared with the executive boards of major legal firms. Their power is intentionally limited [and] it would be entirely wrong to see in the Cosa Nostra a centrally managed, internationally active Mafia holding company," according to criminologist Letizia Paoli.
The Politics of Sicily, Italy takes place in a framework of a semi-presidential representative democracy, whereby the President of Regional Government is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the Regional Government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Sicilian Regional Assembly.

The Union of Democrats for Europe, also known as UDEUR Populars, was a minor centrist, Christian-democratic political party in Italy.
The Sicilian Regional Assembly is the legislative body of Sicily. While it has a long history as an autonomous entity, the modern Region of Sicily was established by Royal Decree on 15 May 1946, before the Italian Republic. The Regional Assembly has the widest legislative power in Italy and is the only regional assembly to have the title of "parliament" whose members are called "deputies" like those in Rome. Seventy deputies are elected every five years in the nine provinces.
