Life and career

Vasai worked as a railway employee and served four terms as mayor of Pergine Valdarno from 1975 to 1995, representing the Italian Communist Party. In 1995, he was elected to the Provincial Council of Arezzo. From 1999 to 2009, he served as an assessor in the provincial governments led by Vincenzo Ceccarelli, holding responsibility for agriculture, hunting, fishing and sports.

In 2009, Vasai won the Democratic Party primary to become its candidate for president of the Province of Arezzo, defeating Gilberto Dindalini.
