Giulio Andreotti OMI SMOM OCSG OESSH (Italian: [ˈʤuːljo andreˈɔtti]; 14 January 1919 – 6 May 2013) was an Italian politician and who served as the 41st Prime Minister of Italy and leader of the Christian Democracy party; he is the fifth longest-serving Prime Minister since the Italian Unification. Andreotti is widely considered the most powerful and prominent leader of the so-called First Republic.
Beginning as a protégé of Alcide De Gasperi, Andreotti achieved cabinet rank at a young age and occupied all the major offices of state over the course of a forty-year political career, being seen as a reassuring figure by the civil service, business community, and Vatican. In foreign policy, he guided Italy's European Union integration, and established closer relations with the Arab world. Admirers of Andreotti saw him as having mediated political and social contradictions, enabling the transformation of a substantially rural country into the fifth-biggest economy in the world. Critics said he had done nothing against a system of patronage that had led to pervasive corruption.
At the height of his prestige as a statesman, Andreotti was subjected to damaging criminal prosecutions. Charged with colluding with Cosa Nostra, courts found he had broken the links by the 'eighties, and ruled the case out of time. The most sensational allegation came from prosecutors in Perugia, who charged him with ordering the murder of a journalist, he was found guilty at a trial, which led to complaints that the justice system had "gone mad". Definitively acquitted by the supreme court, Andreotti remarked "Apart from the Punic Wars, for which I was too young, I have been blamed for everything that's happened in Italy".
