Italian State Police leadership appointments

Overview

The Italian State Police has implemented several leadership changes across various provincial headquarters.

In mid-September 2026, appointments were announced for the Questore positions in Savona and Alessandria. Gaspare Calafiore was named the new Questore of Savona, while Giuseppe Mariani was appointed to lead the Questura of Alessandria following the retirement of Sergio Molino.

On September 25, 2026, Giuseppe Mariani was formally introduced to the city of Alessandria. He emphasized the necessity of institutional synergy, stating that teamwork between the Questura, law enforcement, the judiciary, and the Prefecture is vital for public safety. Mariani identified his key priorities as addressing organized crime, gender-based violence, fraud, and crimes against property. He also noted that the province’s vast geographic area presents unique challenges due to varying security needs across different sectors.

On the same day, Francesco Zerilli was installed as the new Questore of Trento. A veteran with 35 years of experience, Zerilli previously served in Vicenza. His operational priorities include combating drug trafficking, theft, digital fraud—specifically targeting the elderly—and addressing ‘red code’ crimes related to domestic and gender-based violence. Zerilli emphasized that cooperation with the prosecutor's office, the prefect, the Carabinieri, the Guardia di Finanza, and local police will be fundamental to ensuring provincial security.

Regarding the administrative transition in Ravenna, Giuseppe Todaro moved to his role as Deputy Questore after more than ten years of service at the Rimini Police Headquarters, where he held positions including Head of the Immigration Office and Chief of Staff. Shortly thereafter, new Deputy Questore appointments were confirmed for Livorno and Ravenna, with Michele Morra assuming the role in Livorno.
