A great leader yes, a big man, good at being larger than life, showed up the weaknesses in leadership today.
A true Italian that you cannot help like, whose presence fills a room, we were at at company conference when he was in the same hotel in Rome, not obviously connected. He was pleasant.peaceful, sympathetic, respected always understanding and kind from those who truly knew him. A type of Pavarotti character in politics. He had a few chinks they say in internal politics, but I surmise so do all great men according to the weak and envious.
