List of presidents of the Province of Udine
Open-knowledge reference entry

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. The last president, Pietro Fontanini, left office in April 2018. The province was replaced by a Regional Decentralization Entity (Ente di Decentramento Regionale), an administrative body headed by a general director.
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.

Why this record matters
“List of presidents of the Province of Udine” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, presidents and Province provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131520490. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2016, 2018 and 2027.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
