Councillor

He was defeated, but ran again in the 1970 municipal election and won election for Saint-Michel's first ward. The latter election took place against the backdrop of the FLQ crisis.

Luccisano was re-elected in 1974, 1978, and 1982. He sought election for a fifth term in 1986 and lost to Montreal Citizens' Movement candidate Frank Venneri.

Death

Luccisano died of heart failure in October 2008, after a five-month struggle with lung disease.
