The decision means the centre-right politician can leave his villa at Ameglia, near La Spezia, where he had been under house arrest since May 7 in relation to a corruption probe.
On Wednesday, prosecutors had given their approval to Toti being released from house arrest as, after his resignation as governor last week, there was no longer the risk that he could re-offend.
He had had previous requests to be released denied on the grounds that he could re-offend.
The case regards alleged bribes in which cash for an election campaign was exchanged for favours, including the extension of a port terminal concession.
Genoa prosecutors said Tuesday that they have requested an ‘immediate trial’, without any preliminary hearings, for Toti in relation to the probe.
The prosecutors made the same request for the other prime suspects in the case, logistics businessman Aldo Spinelli - the former chairman of Genoa and Livorno football clubs - and former Genoa Port Authority President Paolo Signorini.
Toti has said he is innocent and will be able to show his management of the northwestern Italian region was clean.
