Sant'Agata de' Goti will change the leadership of its Polizia Municipale on December 1, 2026, when Commander Leandro Faggiano leaves the post.
Faggiano communicated his intention to step down from the role effective that date, a decision reported by local outlets NTR24, Fremondoweb, and Anteprima24. The departure will open a transition period for the municipal administration as it prepares to select a new commander.
A decision linked to the demands of the territory
According to the reports, Faggiano said the decision followed reflection on the demands of directing municipal police services across a large and complex territory.
Sant'Agata de' Goti extends over approximately 63 square kilometres and is divided into numerous contrade. That territorial structure was cited as central to Faggiano's reasoning and is expected to weigh in the choice of his successor.
Faggiano will collaborate during the transition to facilitate an orderly handover, according to Anteprima24.
Administration thanks Faggiano and promises continuity
The municipal administration expressed regret at the departure and gratitude for Faggiano's work. It also thanked him for his availability during the transition phase.
Michele Iannotta, the councillor delegated to territorial oversight and security, publicly praised Faggiano's professionalism and institutional commitment.
The administration has said it will maintain continuity in the direction of the Corps and in services to residents while the changeover takes place.
What happens next
For residents, the practical point is continuity: the municipality says leadership and services will continue to be ensured through the handover period.
For the administration, the next step is selecting a new commander. The municipality has indicated that the approximately 63-square-kilometre extent of the territory will be a factor in that choice.
What has not been announced is the identity of the next commander or the date of appointment. The acquired reports also do not say whether Faggiano is moving to another post or leaving municipal police service altogether, and no official municipal resolution or notice confirming the administrative procedure was available in the reporting.
