Ignazio Marino Biography

Ignazio Marino is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 10, 1955 in Genoa, Genoa, Italy. Ignazio Roberto Maria Marino (pronounced [iɲˈɲattsjo maˈriːno] ; born 10 March 1955) is an Italian transplant surgeon, scientist, and former politician who was Mayor of Rome from 2013 to 2015. He was a member of the centre-left Democratic Party and held a seat in the Italian Senate from 2006 until his as Mayor of Rome in

2013. Near the beginning of his term his referral to prosecutors of organized criminals (who had tried to approach Mayor Marino) helped start the 2014 Rome investigation on organized crime and corruption.

In 2002 he left his position as Professor of Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh and took on a post as Professor of Surgery and Director of Liver Transplantation at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. In 2003 he was appointed as Director of the Division of Transplantation at Thomas Jefferson University. Marino has personally performed over 650 transplants. He is a byline author of about 500 peer-review articles and has authored three scientific books. In 2005 he published the book Credere e curare (“Treating and Believing”); the book deals with the medical profession and the influence that faith has upon it. In 2005 he founded Imagine ONLUS, an international non-profit organisation engaged in international solidarity activities with special regard to health issues. He is also a member of the Editorial Board for about 20 international scientific journals.

Marino ran the 2013 election for Mayor of Rome as a centre-left candidate. After leading in the first round he was elected (on 10 June) Mayor of Rome at the second ballot, winning 63.9% of the votes in a run-off against the centre- right candidate, the incumbent mayor Gianni Alemanno.

Shortly after his victory in the elections, he was approached by an organized crime network that rigged public contracts and embezzled funds. Marino took the case to prosecutors, starting the 2014 Rome corruption scandal. On October 18, 2014, Marino registered the marriages of 16 same-sex couples who requested it to the Municipality, which followed similar acts by other Italian mayors. Same-sex marriages and civil unions were illegal in Italy at the time, and by registering the marriages, the mayors hoped to force the hand of national legislators to clarify a deepening legal muddle around same-sex unions, particularly for Italians married abroad.

On July 17, 2001 he successfully did the first organ transplant in Italy on a person with HIV undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy—a kidney transplant performed in response to a personal request from the patient himself (along with the donor, his father), who had been turned down by all other Italian transplant centres. A clinical success, the operation sparked an institutional dispute in Italy at the time.
