We Can’t Make This Up: Roman Parking Chief Fired for Parking Illegally

noparkingromehl.jpgNews of a small parking scandal in the Eternal City, where earlier this week the parking chief was canned for an offense that he should really have thought better of.

Giovanni Catanzaro, Rome’s traffic and parking chief, had his personal Alfa Romeo Brera towed away, after leaving it in a no parking zone. Adding fuel to the fire, Catanzaro had attempted to cover his misdeed by using an expired handicapped permit that had been previously issued to an 86-year-old woman.

Now, apart from using very bad judgment in filching a pass from an old woman, we can't help but wonder why Catanzaro, the parking chief mind you, didn’t just have his own pass made?
