Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio ( March 13 , 1959 ), is an Italian politician. Born in Salerno , member of the Italian Chamber Of Deputies since 1992 , Pecoraro Scanio is the leader and current president of the Italian Green Party , one of opposition parties at the Italian parliament, since 2001 . He also served as Minister for Agriculture from 2000 to 2001 in the second government of Massimo D'Alema . He was also one of the candidates as leader of L'Unione for the Primary Election held on 16 October 2005 , being fifth-placed with 2.2% of national votes. Pecoraro Scanio is openly bisexual, as he made his Coming Out in 2000, becoming the first Italian minister ever to do it; for that reason he was often insulted by a number of far right and populist movements. In June 2005, at a festival organized by the Northern League , a banner inciting to "rape Pecoraro" was exposed, causing immediate outcry. He has a younger brother, Marco Pecoraro Scanio , who is a former Serie A Footballer and a Senate candidate for the Green Party in the 2006 Election . EXTERNAL LINKS |
