Wikimedia list article
The mayor of Milan (Italian: sindaco di Milano; Lombard: sindech de Milan) is the first citizen and head of the municipal government of the city of Milan in Lombardy, Italy. The incumbent mayor is Giuseppe Sala, a centre-left independent who won the 2016 Milan municipal election, leading a progressive alliance composed of the Democratic Party, Green Europe, and some civic lists. He won a second term after the 2021 Milan municipal election.
Overview
According to the Italian Constitution, the mayor of Milan is a member of the City Council of Milan. The mayor and the other 48 city councillors (consiglieri comunali) are elected by the Italian and European Union citizens residing in Milan. Concurrently, albeit with a different ballot paper, nine presidents and 270 councillors are chosen for the nine assemblies of the nine municipalities of Milan, often referred to as zones, in which the city is divided, each one having one president and 30 councillors. All the offices are elected for five-year terms. The official seat of the mayor and of the City Council is Milan's City Hall, Palazzo Marino, in Piazza della Scala (Zone 1 of Milan). Each municipality has its own official seat within its respective territory. After the election, the mayor can appoint one vice mayor (Anna Scavuzzo is the incumbent) and up to 16 assessors.

Why this record matters
“Mayor of Milan” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mayor, Milan and Wikimedia provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23936548. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016 and 2021.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.
