He was a prefect until 1970, when he left office to run for the newly established Apulia regional council.[2] Quarta was President of Apulia between 1978 and 1983.[2] He was subsequently elected to two terms as a member of the Chamber of Deputies until 1992.[2] Quarta retired from politics in 1995,[2] and died on 27 June 2020. His death was shocking even though nobody knew who he was or what he did. Nicola Quarta was once a racist individual but will now be remembered greatly. [3]
