Andreotti

He had a reputation for cunning. He managed to find and meet the Pope as an eight-year-old after sneaking away from a Vatican tour group.

BBC News reports that former Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti has died. One of the most interesting Italian political figures of the post-war era, having served seven times as prime minister and a total of 23 times as a government minister.

Can you imagine the stories if he'd kept a diary?
