Maria Nicotra Fiorini (6 July 1913 – 14 July 2007) was an Italian politician. She was elected to the Constituent Assembly in 1946 as one of the first group of women parliamentarians in Italy. She subsequently served in the Chamber of Deputies from 1948 to 1953 and was later the first female president of a professional football club in Italy.
Following the war, Nicotra was a Christian Democracy candidate in the June 1946 general elections, in which she was one of 21 women elected to the Constituent Assembly. Despite never speaking in the Assembly, she was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1948, serving until the 1953 elections.[2] She remained involved in the women's section of the Christian Democracy and chaired the Catania autonomous public housing body between 1960 and 1965.[2] She married Graziano Verzotto [it], who she had met in 1955.[2] After Verzotto moved abroad, she replaced him as president of Siracusa Calcio, the first woman in Italy to become president of a professional football club.[2] When Verzotto returned to Italy and settled in Padua, Nicotra joined him. She died in the city in 2007.[2]
