Ministro dell'Ambiente

Pecoraro Scanio is openly bisexual, as he made his coming out in 2000, becoming the first Italian minister ever to do it; for that reason he was often insulted by a number of far right and populist movements. In June 2005, at a festival organized by the Northern League, a banner inciting to "rape Pecoraro" was exposed, causing immediate outcry.

He has a younger brother, Marco Pecoraro Scanio, who is a former Serie A footballer and a senator for the Green Party too, elected in the 2006 election.
