The president of the Province of Trieste was the head of the provincial administration of Trieste, a local government authority in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.
The province was abolished as an administrative body by Regional Law no. 20 of 9 December 2016, which provided for the suppression of the provinces and the transfer of their functions to other local authorities.[1][2] The last president, Maria Teresa Bassa Poropat, left office on 1 December 2016.[3] On that date, Gianluca Dominutti was appointed extraordinary commissioner to manage the liquidation of the provincial administration and complete the transfer of its remaining assets, responsibilities and legal affairs.[4] The province was replaced by a Regional Decentralization Entity (Ente di Decentramento Regionale), an administrative body headed by a director general.[5][6]
The Province of Trieste is scheduled to be re-established on 1 January 2027, following the reform of the local government system of Friuli-Venezia Giulia which provides for the reintroduction of the provinces.[7][8]
