de Blasio said Friday resigning Rome Mayor Ignazio Marino "is
one of the Italian leaders who inspired me".
The Democrat spoke at a Metropolitan Museum event on Italian
heritage, one day after his Italian counterpart and friend
stepped down under intense pressure from his own Democratic
Party (PD).
De Blasio also cited Florence Mayor Dario Nardella and
Naples Mayor Luigi de Magistris as sources of inspiration.
