Biography

Giorgio Kutufà was born and raised in Livorno.[2] He studied economics and commerce at the University of Pisa.[1] Kutufà returned to the university as a member of the Faculty of Economics later in his life.[1][2]

Kutufà was first elected to the Livorno municipal council in 1970[1], where he served from 1970 to 1985 as a member of the Christian Democrats (DC).[2] He was then elected to the Regional Council of Tuscany from 1985 to 1995.[1] Following the dissolution of the Christian Democratic (DC) party in 1994, Kutufà became a co-founder of Toscana Democratica.

Kutufà served as President of the Province of Livorno for two terms from June 13, 2004, to October 14, 2014.[2] He became provincial President in 2004 when his center left coalition comprising Democrats of the Left, The Daisy, Party of Italian Communists, Federation of the Greens, and the Italian Democratic Socialists, captured 59.3% of the vote in the June 2004 election.[2]

In 2009, Giorgio Kutufà won a second term as President of the Province of Livorno when his new center-left coalition, this time supported by the Democratic Party, Italy of Values and Left Ecology Freedom parties, won 54.4% of the vote in the June 6-7 election.[2]
