First City Council Bari 148 years ago
aaa How many know the history of the City and the mayors of Bari? The City is the oldest institution in the city of Bari Taking as its starting point the era in which historians remember him as "a Roman town, now more than two thousand years of life. Annals of Tacitus, the great historian relates, that, in 66 AD, the Roman Senate in a town hall relegated Silano dell'Apulia called Barium, making it a little later in his slaying fortress.
aaa There is also a historical record for the city of Bari, Bonazzi published by Pompey in 1806, which states that the city became a municipality in the year 427 since the founding of Rome, that in 326 BC, under the consulate Petilio of Libo and Papilio Cursor. The municipal affairs of those times are rather unknown and much less are those that occurred during the invasions of Gothic, Byzantine, Lombard and Saracen that followed until the early Middle Ages.
Aaa The historians have handed down that the 1009ci was a revolt against the Byzantine Empire, led by Melo of Bari, which ended with the defeat at Cannae Melo and his death in 1020 at the court of the Emperor of Germany . The City has continued its history with its statutes and its own organs, even in the transitional period between medieval modern age. This document are the commentaries and papers of the city archives with details of names of mayors and other municipal judges. This is also documented in the "Red Book" and "Great Paper." Until the eighteenth century the city was ruled by two mayors, one representing the nobility of the other nation primary.
aaa third class that emerged in 1798 that gained its own representation in the administration of the city, which became three mayors. In 1806 the French occupied the throne of Naples and King Joseph Napoleon reorganized all the municipalities of the kingdom's ancient statutes abolishing and reducing the number of local mayors to one. Things remained unchanged during the reign of Murat and the Bourbon kings restored in 1815.
aaa A final change came with the national unity of Commons when life began to be governed by the law October 23, 1859, issued after the union to Piemonte and extended to other Italian regions. This law the previous structures were abolished and the administration was formed by City Council, the council and the mayor. The first municipal council of Bari occurred June 9, 1861. Except for the brief interruption of the Fascist period, during which the bodies of the City were replaced by a mayor, assisted by a council, this order did not change.
aaa The first mayor of Bari occurred in 1346 and was a member of the nobility: Call Nicholas de Piltro. In 1416 the nobility was the exponent of a united people. This system lasted until 1 April 1798, when the city had three mayors representing the nobility, the bourgeoisie and the people. They were Zeuli Diego, Matteo and Giuseppe Colucci Triggiani. In February 1799 there was a committee of the municipality in which the presidency was taken in turn and this lasted until May 19, 1799. Then there was a renewal of the Board and the three mayors since 1800, were renewed annually. Since 1806 the number of auditors was reduced by one and then always remained such.
