This statue is prominently displayed:
Born
in Tampa on October 24, 1901, the son of Sicilian immigrants, Vincenzo and
Rosalia Nuccio. Mayor Nick C. Nuccio was born on Eighth Avenue, where he lived
much of his life. He passionately believed in conducting his personal and
professional life in a way that met the highest standards of integrity and
exemplary character. His tenure as the first Latin Mayor of Tampa helped to
pave the way for others of similar origin to find success in public service.
His partner in life for more than 65 years was his devoted wife, Concetta
Licata. Together they reared a wonderful family that included a son, Vincent
and daughters, Rosalie (Lillie) and Marietta. Mayor Nick C. Nuccio was perhaps
the most beloved politician in Tampa's history. He died on August 26, 1989.
