"Il Divo" crafts a dazzling portrait of one of the most complex and ambiguous figures of post-war Italy – Giulio Andreotti. Arguably the most important Italian politician of the last fifty years, Andreotti entered politics in 1946 and led seven governments, turning his Christian Democratic party into a force that ran Italy in what was essentially a one-party system. To do so clearly required a man of singular abilities – but Andreotti was, and remains, an enigma to his fellow countrymen. Sorrentino sketches the background to these years – a period of murder and assassinations during which politicians, judges and bankers were brutally removed – before focusing on the last government that Andreotti led, which was overshadowed by allegations of Mafia connections.
