February 11 is a national holiday inItaly. The date marks the anniversary of three historic pacts: the Lateran Treaty, which formally constituted Vatican City as an independent territorial state; a financial accord, which indemnified the Pope for the 19th century confiscation of the Papal States; and a concordat* to settle religious matters be tween the Roman Catholic Church and the government of Italy. Signed by Fas cist Dictator Benito Mussolini and a representative of Pope Pius XI, the pacts successfully survived World War II, Mussolini's fall and even a new post war constitution.

Manzini, a veteran Catholic journalist and former Christian Democratic member of Italy's Parliament, was appointed to the job by Pope John.

...Papal Advance Man. An unofficial advisory panel of bankers and financiers counsels the Vatican. Among them is Guido Carli, president of the Bank of Italy. By his own admission, Marcinkus needs all the help he can get. A genial and highly popular prelate who studied at Rome's Gregorian University for priests, he is a first-class organizer, but readily confesses: "I have no banking experience." Since 1959, he has been a member of the Vatican Curia-the central administration of the church. He was principal planner and advance man on Pope Paul's foreign trips...
