Abstract

The year 2000 is a year Antonio Bassolino, mayor of Naples since 1993, will not soon forget. The year had begun very well for Bassolino: he was considered “the mayor Italians loved most” and was extremely popular in Naples, where he was seen as a public official with a knack for listening to the average citizen. The year, however, ended pretty badly for Bassolino after he left City Hall to become President of the Campania Region. Bassolino left behind many unfinished projects, most notably the urban plan, the possible victory of the Center-Right at the next municipal election, and encountered many difficulties in governing the Region due to intense party opposition to his actions and programs.
