Marino specialized in transplant medicine at Policlinico Gemelli and subsequently worked at the Cambridge University Transplant Center , the Pittsburgh Transplant Institute at the University of Pittsburgh and as Director of the Transplant Division at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia . In 1992, in Philadelphia, he succeeded in transplanting the liver of a baboon to a human for the first time . In 1998 he founded the ISMETT Institute in Palermo , the first liver transplant center in Sicily. He was director and CEO of the institute and performed the first 100 transplants after Sicily's first orthotopic liver transplant, including a number of living donor kidney and liver transplants. In 2002 he became a professor at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia.

In July 2001, he successfully performed the first organ transplant in Italy in a person with HIV who was undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy - a kidney transplant performed at the personal request of the patient himself (together with the donor, his father) by everyone else Italian transplant centers refused. After his career in politics, Marino returned to Thomas Jefferson University and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in 2016, where he had remained Professor of Surgery. He has also represented Thomas Jefferson University in Europe through collaborations with universities such as the Università di Bologna and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. He also developed a dual MD degree program in collaboration with Jefferson and the School of Medicine at Università Cattolica.

Political career

In the parliamentary elections in 2006 , Marino was elected to the Senate as a non-party candidate for the electoral alliance L'Ulivo and in the elections in 2008 and 2013 , meanwhile, re-elected as a member of the Partito Democratico . He chaired the health committee. In 2009 Marino ran in the primary election for chairmanship of the Partito Democratico. With only 12.5%, however, it was clearly defeated. Was elected Pier Luigi Bersani .

Mayor of Rome

In the runoff election on June 9 and 10, 2013, he was elected Mayor of Rome .

During the family synod of the Catholic Church in October 2014, Marino publicly recognized 16 same-sex marriages abroad that have not been permitted in Italy so far.

In October 2015, Marino submitted his resignation over allegations in a corruption scandal. 17 days later he revoked his resignation. The following day, however, 26 of the 48 members of the city parliament of Rome resigned, whereby the city parliament and city government were considered dissolved. Francesco Paolo Tronca was appointed Marino's acting successor .

Marino was accused of paying a total of 12,716 euros with a city check card for various private meals. The public prosecutor's office in Rome opened an investigation and demanded three years and four months imprisonment for the ex-mayor. On October 7, 2016, Marino was acquitted in a Roman court because, according to the judge, the allegations were baseless. The public prosecutor's office declined to appeal.
