History The office of president of the Province of Gallura North-East Sardinia is the successor of the corresponding office of the former Province of Olbia-Tempio. The latter was established in 2001 as part of the reorganization of the provinces of Sardinia and became operational after the first provincial elections held in 2005. The president was elected directly by citizens every five years. The province was abolished in 2016 as part of the regional reorganization of Sardinian provinces.
In 2021, the Autonomous Region of Sardinia approved the establishment of the new Province of North-East Sardinia, later renamed Province of Gallura North-East Sardinia, which became operational on 1 April 2025. The first election of the president and provincial council of the new province was held on 29 September 2025, resulting in the election of Settimo Nizzi as the first president of the re-established provincial institution.
