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.
