Moro, 46, was the party's unanimous choice for the job; for good measure, their Cabinet partners-the Social Democrats and the Republicans-also supported him. Even Pietro Nenni's left-wing Socialists, so far excluded from the Cabinet but whose 87 votes in the Chamber of Deputies can make or break the apertura a sinistra (opening to the left), did not oppose Moro.

...part, the Communist showing was due to Red defections from Pietro Nenni's sharply divided Socialists, the left-wing crowd that had thrown its lot with Fanfani. And in part it was due to Pope John XXIII, who had given a modicum of approval to the far left with his Pacem in Terris encyclical, and with his warm welcome to the Vatican last March for Nikita Khrushchev's visiting son-in-law, Aleksei Adzhubei...
