Giulio Andreotti mortuus
Giulio Andreotti, qui in negotiis publicis Italiae diutissime versatus erat, pridie Nonas Maias (6.5.) diem supremum obiit nonaginta quattuor annos natus. Socius factionis democratarum Christianorum in parlamentum Italiae iam anno millesimo nongentesimo quadragesimo sexto (1946) creatus est, donec anno nonagesimo primo (1991) titulum senatoris perpetui accepit. Quantum Andreotti in vita publica Italiae auctoritate valuerit, vel inde apparet, quod omnino septies munere ministri principis fungebatur.
