For Peer Reviewers
The section starting "Since local government..." previously existed on the Verona Wikipedia page. There were no citations provided by the editor who included this part and I do not have any means of determining how to find the source that they used to acquire this information. I included some information after "...elected on 26 June 2017." in order to improve this section. I am open to any suggestions that may help me amend the lack of citations that exists as a result of previous editors of this page. I also made minor factual changes to the text that I did not create, for which I included citation, but I left this section mostly unchanged.

Pre-Modern Era
The first documented institution of formal legal regulation in Verona came in the early 13th Century. This came in the form of a written statute that outlined the wills of a prominent religious order of the time, the Humiliati. This document was drafted by Guglielmo Calvo in 1228 CE and remained in effect until 1259, when a new form of government emerged, led by Mastino della Scala. This new government eventually drafted another statute in 1276 CE, which was of greater complexity and applicability to Verona and governmental functions therein. Much of the Pre-Modern era consisted of government that was heavily influenced by Christian religious values.

Current Conditions
Since local government political reorganization in 1993, Verona has been governed by the City Council of Verona, which is based in Palazzo Barbieri. Resident voters elect 36 councilors and the Mayor of Verona every five years. Verona is also the capital of its own province. The Provincial Council is seated in Palazzo del Governo. A mayor may be reelected for another term, but no more than one time. The current Mayor of Verona is Federico Sboarina (LN), elected on 26 June 2017. Mayor Sboarina was born and raised in Verona, and has lived there for most of his life. He previously served as one of the 36 elected councilors, and won the 2017 Administrative Election by receiving 58.11% of the total votes. He graduated from law school at the University of Trento in 1997 and has been actively involved in serving his community in various fashions since then. His connection to Verona and commitment to its success motivated him to run for Mayor of his hometown.
