He was the first leftist mayor in the history of Lucca and the first directly elected by the citizens.

Lazzarini died in Lucca on his 93rd birthday in 2020.

Biography

A certified public accountant by profession, he has been involved in politics since a young age as a city council member and councilor for the Christian Democracy (Italy) party.

He was the first List of mayors of Lucca to be elected by direct popular vote. Running on the “Vivere Lucca” civic list as part of a center-left coalition with the Democratic Party of the Left, the Italian People’s Party, and the Social Christians (the party to which he belonged), he was elected mayor in the second round on July 10, 1994, defeating Forza Italia (1994) candidate Massimo Bulckaen with 53% of the vote. In the 1998 municipal elections, he ran again with his own civic list without the support of the center-left, receiving 23% of the vote and thus being elected to the city council.

He was married to Argentina Santarlasci (1931–2018), and they had five children: Guido, Giorgio, Anna, Carlo, and Franca.

He died in Lucca on July 31, 2020, the day of his ninety-third birthday.
