Marigliano has a new municipal executive. Mayor Gaetano Bocchino appointed four assessors after withdrawing his resignation, closing — at least for now — a political crisis that had left the town administration in limbo.
According to Metropolis Web, the four initial appointments are Annamaria De Falco, Giovanni Perillo, Giuseppe Maddaloni and Pasquale Guercia. A fifth female assessor is expected to complete the executive, but her identity and portfolio had not yet been announced in the primary report.
Who handles what
The portfolios divide the core work of the municipality among the four new assessors:
- Annamaria De Falco: budget, litigation, taxes and municipal assets
- Giovanni Perillo: environment, waste hygiene, public greenery, urban decorum and the cemetery
- Giuseppe Maddaloni: public works, territorial planning, housing policies, the Area PIP, school and sports buildings, and urban regeneration
- Pasquale Guercia: social policies and public education
For residents, that breakdown is the practical guide to the reset: finance and taxes under De Falco, day-to-day environmental services and cemetery matters under Perillo, construction, planning and schools infrastructure under Maddaloni, and welfare and schools policy under Guercia.
Why now: from resignation to reset
The appointments followed Bocchino's withdrawal of his resignation after a period of political tension, as reported by Metropolis Web and La Provincia Online.
The background was a full break with the previous administration. Scisciano Notizie reports that Bocchino submitted his resignation on 31 August after dissolving the previous executive, citing divisions and personal rivalries within the governing majority and putting the interests of the town first.
In that context, the new executive is a restart attempt: a smaller, redefined team nominated only days after the mayor stepped back from resigning.
A technical choice — and early criticism
One local report, Marigliano.net, presented the incoming team as a technical executive and reported opposition from the civic group PER Marigliano.
That framing matters for what comes next. Whether the new team is genuinely independent and competence-based, rather than simply a differently balanced political majority, remains a matter of local political interpretation. The acquired sources do not settle that question.
What to watch
Three points remain open:
First, the fifth appointment. Until the expected fifth assessor is named, the executive is incomplete, and the final balance of responsibilities is not fully clear.
Second, political durability. The crisis grew out of tensions inside the majority. The test for the new team will be whether a changed executive formula resolves those tensions or only moves them elsewhere.
Third, procedure. The sources reviewed do not establish whether the new executive has completed all required municipal formalities. Formal confirmation and the first council steps will show how solid the reset is.
For now, Marigliano has a defined direction again: four named assessors, clear portfolios, and a mayor who chose to stay and rebuild rather than leave.
