ITALIAN GLOSSARY
RED BRIGADES (BR): Marxist-Leninist
terrorist group founded in 1970.
Kidnapped DC president Aldo Moro
in 1978, killed him after 55 days.
Terrorists always maintained
they acted independently,
but search for Moro
perhaps influenced by P2 lodge.
CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATS (DC): Christian
ethics party founded by De Gasperi.
Organized in factions, governed Italy
from 1946 to early '90s, when,
along with other parties, it was
swept away by "Bribesville" scandal.

Aldo Moro,Amintore Fanfani, Giulio Andreotti.
P2 LODGE:

an authoritarian government.

ALDO MORO:
Statesman,As hostage, wrote hundreds of letters
pressing for negotiations with BR.
Andreotti and Cossiga's hard-line
policy ruled out negotiations.
In captivity, Moro wrote harshly
about many fellow party members,
especially Andreotti.
OF SOMEONE,
ROSA FALASCA ANDREOTTI,
"You have six months left", said the
army doctor when I was called up.
I wanted him to see I was alive,
but he was dead.
It always went that way.
They'd predict my demise
and I'd survive.
They'd die instead.
On the other hand, I've suffered
splitting headaches all my life.
Now I'm using a Chinese remedy,
but I've tried everything.
In its day, the drug
Optalidon looked really promising.
I even sent a supply
to a journalist:
Mino Pecorelli.He's dead too.

Massacres and conspiracies are
the work of Craxi and Andreotti
- What time did you wake up, Giulio?
- 4:
30.The great La Pira would wake at 3:30.
He was a saint. I'm a sinner.
- How many times, Giulio?
- As of today, seven.
Seven times Premier,
twenty-five times minister.
I never had
such an illustrious parishioner.
We're all illustrious in God's eyes.
Montanelli said:
"De Gasperi and Andreotti
went to mass together,
everyone thought they did
the same thing but it wasn't so.
In church, De Gasperi talked to God.
Andreotti talked to the priest.
Priests vote.
God doesn't.
Mario, I want to confess.
Of course, Giulio.
Premier, don't slouch.
I'm comfortable like this.
Premier, storm clouds are gathering.

"HIS HEALTHINESS"THE ANDREOTTI FACTION
Fiorenzo, sit on the throne.
How's the Pope doing?
I was on TV yesterday.
There was talk of priests in trouble.
I quoted Pius XI.
Whenever they mentioned
he always said the same five words.
- What?
- What is the lady's name?
- The Lad's in good form.
- Thank you for calling me "lad".
The usual nasty journalist pushed
the same old button:
My faction... according to her
it's teeming with bad company.
What did you reply?
One can never be too cautious
about the company one keeps.
After all, Jesus had Judas
amongst his disciples.
- What's eating you, Salvo?
- Nothing.
Rome's so beautiful.
And it's so calm too.
Fiorenzo, I'd like Tedax
to stay in the pharmaceutical codex,
it's relieving the suffering of many.
Giulio,
Tedax is problematic, it doesn't...
Tell me about my favourite pony.
Craxi was on the warpath,
he kept yelling:
"I'd sooner cut my balls off than see
your Mazza as bank president."
- Who got the job?
- Our Mazza.
to comply?
It's relieving the suffering of many.
Giulio, I need to talk to you
in private.
And Vittorio also has ideas
about the faction
that not only differ from ours,
but they're excessive too.
I propose...
to arrange in
a more widely distributed manner...
that would only be difficult...
Boys, behave yourselves.
Today is the inception
of the 7th Andreotti government.
Today's a day of celebration.
Let's all behave.
SALVO LIMA:
Today's a day of celebration.
Good morning, Premier.
Do you know the way?
It's vaguely familiar, thank you.
The President of the Republic,
Francesco Cossiga.
THE 7TH ANDREOTTI GOVERNMEN
Premier...
Apart from the Punic Wars,
I've been blamed for everything
that's happened in Italy.
They've honoured me
with several nicknames:
The Divine Julius,
The First Letter of the Alphabet,
The Hunchback, The Fox, Moloch,
The Salamander, The Black Pope,
Eternity,
Man of Darkness, Beelzebub.
But I've never pressed charges
for a simple reason:
I have a sense of humour.
I have something else too:
A vast archive
in place of an imagination.
Every time I mention it,
those who should shut up do so,
as if by magic.
- You may go in, ma'am.
- Wait!
What's wrong?
Everyone says he's a dangerous man.
Andreotti isn't dangerous.
He's daring.
That's quite a different thing.
Is there anything I should know
about him?
Yes, his hands. Watch them closely.
If he twiddles his thumbs,
he thinks you're intelligent.
If he plays with his ring,
it means he disagrees
with what you're saying.
If he rhythmically taps
his fingertips together,
it means you'll be dismissed
within the next five minutes.
What about when his eyes
suddenly dilate?
I don't know, no one does.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Giulio, it's midnight,
we have to go.
Don't forget you're leaving tomorrow.
Yes, Livia.
- Thank you for coming, Andreotti.
- Goodbye, Paolo.
MOSCOW. THE KREMLIN
Hello, I'm the Premier.
I'm more important,
I'm his wife.
- Did you go to play cards?
- Yes.
I wore the coat
Marisa loved it
I was a bit hesitant to say because
it seemed like I was boasting.
- How's Gorbachov?
- State Secret.
Is that birthmark on his head
unsightly?
I don't mind it.
Are you going to bed now?
First I have to do
some Cossack dancing.
- Say "trimarri".
- "Tvimavvi"
- Say "vrigliari"
- "Vigliavi". That's enough.
Goodnight, Giulio.
What will they remember
about you, Honourable Mr Andreotti?
I don't intend to rake up
your dull career,
that's not a crime.
What will they remember about you?
A cold organizer: Inscrutable,
incapable of doubts or thrills.
Incapable of pity.
