...baroque of his native Naples to Tantric symbolism. It is full of occultism, tarot, necromancy, devils, Sabbats and pallid sexual grotesquerie. It always looks hasty. It is heavy on the orifices: eating, coupling, defecating; the mood varies from mysterioso rhetoric to voyeurism. One moment Clemente is quoting poses from Giulio Romano's illustrations to Aretino to Indian miniatures (he spends part of each year painting near Madras); the next, copying a spiral staircase out of Mario Praz's Illustrated History of Furnishing; and after that, doing a billboard-size head of Grace Jones with skulls for teeth...
...reaching an agreement. The stumbling blocks: last-minute objections by France concerning Spanish fishing rights in European waters and Spanish wine sales in French markets. Efforts to end the deadlock continued through the week. The breakthrough came in a final 16-hour bargaining session led by Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Andreotti. The agreement called for a transition period of seven to ten years, allowing the economically backward Iberian countries to adapt to the Community's policies promoting the free movement of workers, capital and manufactured goods...

Having promised that his nation would campaign against Star Wars "at the top of its voice," Gromyko did precisely that in person in Western Europe.

While discussing nuclear arms with Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Andreotti in April, So viet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko made a pointed allusion to the Roman city of Pompeii, which was destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79. After West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher's visit a month later, the Soviet press published reports that West Germany's soldiers resemble a "Hitlerite army" and that the government was plotting to take over East Germany. China, which Moscow has every...
...voices to the general complaint, Italian officials announced that they too hope to withdraw their 1,200-member force from Beirut in favor of a U.N. contingent, even though creation of such a force would be unthinkable in the face of presumed Soviet opposition. In Rome, Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Andreotti summoned U.S. Ambassador Maxwell Rabb to ask pointedly what the U.S. naval bombardment in Lebanon was expected to achieve...
