Aircraft ID? canard biz plane

[Ron Hardin]

What might a business-sized aircraft have been, that had both a
canard stabilizer up front and a regular stabilizer in the back,
twin engine, very high pitched (frequency) props, quite fast, that
went over.

I think it was smaller than what I remember as a Beech starship.

I was going to ask about the same plane this evening, I watched one
take off from KEUG here in Oregon this afternoon. Very interesting
looking plane.

The blurb says 3 lifting surfaces, which isn't true; the rear stabilizer
lifts downwards, like always. I wonder why it's there.

Or perhaps the canards are show mostly.

A Piaggio, perhaps?

I see these all the time out of the Buffalo, NY, airport.
