List of presidents of Calabria facts for kids
This article tells you about the presidents of Calabria, who are important leaders in the Calabria region of Italy. They have been leading the region since 1970.
The president is like the head of the regional government. They help make decisions and lead the team that manages the region. For a long time, the president was chosen by the Regional Council, which is a group of elected officials. But since the year 2000, people in Calabria vote directly for their president. This means the president is chosen by everyone, just like a mayor or a national leader. The president then picks other people to help them run the region.
