Giorgio Morales

After graduating in Political Science from the Cesare Alfieri Institute of the University of Florence, in 1970 he was appointed coordinator of the Legislative Office of the Regional Council.

[2] He ran again for the office of Mayor in 1995, supported by Forza Italia (FI) and the Italian People's Party (PPI),[3] but was defeated by the centre-left Independent candidate Mario Primicerio.

[5] Morales, along with the entire city council, resigned from governing Florence in 1990 amidst a time of racial strains and anti-immigration, shortly after a violent attack on African immigrants.

[6] Immediately prior to Morales' resignation, members of his coalition were unsupportive of his supposed desire to “militarize” downtown Florence, a popular tourist location.

[7] The task force would have been in place to combat deterioration of the historic center and prevent violence, as well as other crimes such as vandalism and sexual assaults.
