But as pressure mounted Wednesday, he promised to pay the entire 20,000-euro ($22,600) credit card bill, including uncontested legitimate expenses, back to the city.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t enough.<\/p>\n<p>His Democratic Party, which had been lukewarm to his administration for months anyway, finally yanked its support and made clear that he had lost his mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Marino had been increasingly isolated by his party &#8211; and Premier Matteo Renzi &#8211; and saw his popularity plunge following a series of scandals and corruption probes involving Rome&#8217;s public administration, most of them concerning alleged wrongdoing under his predecessor. A massive corruption investigation over the awarding of public works contracts has implicated politicians from both right and left, including Marino&#8217;s immediate predecessor, Gianni Alemanno.<\/p>\n<p>In his farewell letter, Marino vowed to find the truth despite harboring a &#8220;serious fear&#8221; that city hall would return to its past &#8220;of speculation, illegal private interests, of a corrupt-mafia mechanism&#8221; that he said threatened to bring down more than just the party.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the obvious political mechanisms behind his ouster, Marino has been responsible for some of his own undoing.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, he faced pressure to resign after he let parking fines pile up for his red Fiat Panda, which was repeatedly parked in the city center without a permit. Marino, who mostly gets around town on his bike, blamed careless aides for letting the permit expire.<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer, Marino was harshly criticized for staying on vacation in the U.S. while Rome erupted in outrage over a Hollywood-style funeral for a purported organized crime boss that included a police escort. For many, it was a display of opulence at a time when the city&#8217;s basic services like public transport and garbage pickup were being grossly neglected by strikes, mismanagement and cutbacks.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, even the Vatican lost confidence in his ability to govern.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium\"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/pope-francis\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Pope Francis<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">13:31<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pope Francis appeared visibly irked by Marino&#8217;s reported suggestion that he had been asked by the Vatican to attend the pope&#8217;s big final Mass in Philadelphia, the culmination of his recent U.S. tour. In a news conference coming home, Francis made clear that neither he nor the organizers of the church&#8217;s Catholic family rally had invited him.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the Vatican official who co-sponsored the Philadelphia event was caught on a prank phone call disparaging Marino and questioning whether he could get Rome ready for the millions of pilgrims expected to come for Francis&#8217; Jubilee Year of Mercy, which begins on Dec. 8.<\/p>\n<p>A clearly embarrassed Vatican later was forced to insist that relations with Italy were fine.<\/p>\n<p>Marino was elected mayor in 2013, promising to bring order and function to Rome&#8217;s chronically dysfunctional public administration. Some of his early moves endeared him to the public &#8211; the bike, for example. But he also took some unpopular decisions, including closing a main thoroughfare through Rome&#8217;s iconic Foro Imperiali to cars, further snarling the center&#8217;s congested traffic.<\/p>\n<p>He also had a cloud hanging over him concerning a previous expense account scandal.<\/p>\n<p>Marino, who had worked as a surgeon and researcher at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, left the U.S. to pioneer a transplant hospital in Sicily that was affiliated with the U.S. center. But he abruptly resigned in 2002 as director of Sicily&#8217;s ISMETT transplant center.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. institution said at the time that hospital auditors had found a pattern of &#8220;intentional duplicate&#8221; expense accounts submitted by Marino.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list
