To emphasize the private nature of the meeting, Andreotti met Perón not in his office in Palazzo Chigi, but in a small room in the Parliament building...
...living through a crisis of growth and development in Italy today," Colombo told TIME Correspondent James Bell during an interview in Rome's Chigi Palace last week.

All week at the Palazzo Chigi, the Foreign Ministry, government officials were predicting dolefully that Pella might face ouster when Parliament reconvenes later this month unless he can produce promise of progress on Trieste, the most emotional issue in Italy. Already, Pietro Nenni's Red Socialists, yearning for a chance to swerve Italy from the West to neutralism, were baying that Pella's pro-U.S. policy is a failure and that Italy should dump him and change course...
