Pablo Manfredi (c. 1800 – c. 1860) was one of five interim mayors of
Ponce, Puerto Rico
Ponce (, , , ) is both a city and a municipality on the southern coast of Puerto Rico. The city is the seat of the municipal government.
Ponce, Puerto Rico's most populated city outside the San Juan metropolitan area, was founded on 12 August 1 ...
, during the period of 14 February 1854 to 24 July 1854. The other four interim mayors during that six-month period were
Julio Duboc,
Escolástico Fuentes,
José Benito Paz Falcón, and
Antonio E. Molina.
Introduction to politics
Manfredi had performed as "4th mayor" under mayor
José de Jesús Fernández in the 1846. The position was the result of the new ''Decreto Orgánico de 1846'' (1846 Organic Decree), a new Law for Municipalities that allowed for increased centralization of public administration and greater political control over municipalities.
[Emilio J. Pasarell. ''Esculcando el Siglo XIX en Puerto Rico.'' Barcelona: M. Pareja. 1967. p.22.] Despite this lack of full political control at the municipal level, the former job allowed Manfredi to gain administrative experience for his work as mayor.
