More on Piero Marrazzo
Description from Wikipedia:
Piero Marrazzo (born in Rome on July 29, 1958) served as the President of Lazio, one of the twenty regions of Italy, from 2005 to 2009.
Piero Marrazzo is the son of Giuseppe Marrazzo (a field journalist noted for his investigations on mafia) and Italian-American Luigia Spina. He was a political activist during his youth, leading towards reformist socialism, and obtained a degree in jurisprudence. He went on to become a prominent TV journalist, working for twenty years for RAI, on programmes such as TG2 and TG3, heading the Tuscany journalistic department of RAI, working with Giovanni Minoli (on programmes such as "Cronaca in Diretta", "Drugstories", and "Format"), and finally becoming the anchorman for eight consecutive years of "Mi Manda Rai Tre", for which he is most remembered. In November 2004 he left his job to run for presidency of Lazio as the candidate of centre-left coalition L'Unione; he won the April 2005 regional elections attracting 50.7% of votes.
He suspended himself from his role on Saturday, October 24, 2009 after 4 police officers allegedly tried to blackmail him with video footage, purporting to reveal him in a bedroom with a transsexual "friend". Marrazzo admitted the meeting and said that the move paved the way for his resignation.
