Interesting the the word 'Podesta' literally translates to Power https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/podesta

"Literally" is an overused word.
"Podesta: a chief magistrate in a medieval Italian municipality"
I agree with you that it is overused but did you see the entry just below the MW definition?
Origin and Etymology of podesta Italian podestà , literally, power, from Latin potestat-, potestas, irregular from potis able
So it's literally derived from a Latin word that literally means "power." Not sure if this coincidence is important unless the Podestas changed their name to that for nefarious reasons.
Impossible to say, but what are the chances?? Just another nail in the 'proverbial' coffin, I suppose.
