The Dark Underbelly of the Providence Renaissance
The 1970''s saw the rise of a powerful new force in Providence (RI), replacing the once inviolate stranglehold of the Mob.
Buddy Cianci''s rise to national prominence overshadowed a darker truth.
Driven from office by one scandal, returned to office on a wave of nostalgia, Cianci and Providence are forever linked.

This is his story. One never before told.
