List of presidents of the Province of Caserta

The president of the Province of Caserta is the head of the provincial government in Caserta, Campania, Italy. The president oversees the administration of the province, coordinates the activities of the municipalities, and represents the province in regional and national matters.

Since June 2025, the office has been held by Anacleto Colombiano of Forza Italia.

History The Province of Caserta was established in 1945, following the reconstitution of the provincial administration after World War II. It inherited most of the territory of the former Province of Terra di Lavoro, which had been abolished in 1927 during the Fascist administrative reorganization.

During the transition period, the new provincial administration was initially managed by two special commissioners, Tito Ingarrica and Federico D'Aiuto. The latter was subsequently appointed prefectural commissioner. On 29 August 1946, a Provincial Deputation (Deputazione provinciale) was then established, headed by Clemente Piscitelli, to oversee the administration of the province until the restoration of elected institutions.

The first provincial elections were held in 1952, leading to the first formation of the Provincial Council of Caserta on 25 May 1952, which was presided over by Fortunato Messa. Initially elected by the council, the president was chosen directly by the citizens of the province from 1996 to 2015.

Following the 2014 Delrio reform, presidents are elected by the Assembly of the mayors and municipal councillors of the province's municipalities. The term of office was reduced from five to four years.
