Vincenzo De Luca (born 8 May 1949) is an Italian politician. A member of the Democratic Party, he has been serving as president of Campania since 18 June 2015.[1] De Luca also served as mayor of Salerno for more than 17 years, becoming one of the longest serving mayors in Italy.[2][3]
De Luca has often been described as a populist politician and became known for his controversial statements.[4][5] He is nicknamed Lo Sceriffo ("The Sheriff"), due to his outspokenly impetuous and strong government style,[6] and also Don Vicienzo.[7]

The problem of incompatibility, latent since the establishment of the Government Letta, could explode on the situation of the Undersecretary for transport mayor of Salerno.
