Nick Chillura Nuccio was probably the most colorful and animated politician in the history of Tampa and Hillsborough County. In the fifties and sixties, almost every park bench in the area bore the words "Nick C. Nuccio, County Commissioner." Those were the days when you could get away with that.

Nuccio was born in Ybor City in 1901. Starting in 1928, he served eight years on the City Council and then 20 as a county commissioner. In 1956, he became the first Latin to be elected mayor of Tampa.
