Naked Professor Sparks Inquiry in Bologna

Last Sunday, he appeared on TV almost naked, on the show "Che Tempo che Fa" hosted by Fabio Fazio, wearing only a towel to cover his private parts. Jean Pascal Marcacci is in fact the president of Aner, the Naturist Association of Emilia-Romagna, but also a Law professor at the IIS Rosa Luxemburg in Bologna. However, the professor has been absent from school since last January due to an injury. For this reason, as reported by the Corriere di Bologna, an investigation will be opened on him by the Provincial School Office of Bologna. A teacher improvises a sex education lesson at school: fired. Supreme Court: "Legitimate" Seeing the professor in his naturist version on television after months of absence from school, in fact, created unease enough to open an "institutional" thread. "I received material on this matter," says Giuseppe Panzardi to the Corriere di Bologna, the manager of the Provincial School Office, "we will make all the necessary evaluations. It's a situation we were not aware of before, but this teacher has been on injury leave for a few months. We will evaluate every possible aspect, we need to understand the situation well first, for now I would not give any indication. When we receive a report of this type - he concludes - we proceed to the investigation and evaluate the case from a disciplinary, criminal, or civil perspective." Jean Pascal Marcacci defends himself: "I did not go on TV as a professor" And if the principal of Rosa Luxemburg, Alessandra Canepa, expresses "surprise at an exhibition like the one I witnessed on TV of a teacher absent due to injury," Marcacci, who in addition to teaching is also a lawyer, is calm. "I injured myself at school in January - he explains to the newspaper - I broke three ribs and as a result had a worsening of my lumbar and cervical situation: I have been undergoing rehabilitative therapies for three months. Even on Monday, I went to the treatments assigned to me by Inail. For the rest, I can do whatever, I went to Fazio's on Sunday evening and Sunday evening, just as when I am at school, I can do what I want, because that is my free time." At "Che Tempo che Fa", he adds "they invited me in my capacity as president and I did not define myself as a teacher, therefore, I did not mention the school where I work". On TV, he concludes, "I went as a guest and not as a prof. If I do not violate the laws of the school, I can go wherever I want and it is not right that I censor myself. If I had not been able to do it, I would not have done it, but someone has to tell me officially."
