The president of the Province of Udine was the head of the provincial administration of Udine, a local government authority in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.
The province was abolished as an administrative body on 1 January 2017 as part of the reform of local government in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The abolition process was established 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, Pietro Fontanini, left office in April 2018.[3] The province was replaced by a Regional Decentralization Entity (Ente di Decentramento Regionale), an administrative body headed by a general director.[4]
The Province of Udine 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.[5][6]
