Politics and Pasta

 Vincent A. "Buddy" Cianci, Jr.

Perhaps one of the most charismatic mayors in U.S. history, Buddy Cianci served as the Mayor of Providence for an unprecedented 21 years. A champion of inner city revitalization, Cianci turned Providence into “the Renaissance City” and an example of sustainable urban renewal. However, his tenure was marred with controversy, leading to a forced resignation and conviction. These days, he hosts a daily radio talk show on 630 WPRO AM and 99.7 FM, as well as his own daily “Buddy TV” segment on ABC-6 in Rhode Island, and some speculate he may consider yet another run for mayor. Ford Hall Forum President Dominick Ianno draws outrageous anecdotes from the always-entertaining Buddy Cianci.
