Portrait of the most important Italian political leader since the end of World War Two. Nicknamed "The Stanislas" or "El Divo," seven-time Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti since 1946, he was tried in 1992 for Mafia ties and subsequently acquitted. A leader with close ties to the Vatican, Andreotti was also tried and acquitted for the murder of an Italian journalist, and remains a senator for life.
