Encyclopedia: Giovanni Leone (1046 words)
Giovanni Leone, who has died aged 93, was president of Italy during the country's difficult terrorist years, but is now best remembered for his resignation, forced on him by his implication in a corruption scandal.
Leone is the only Italian head of state to have left office in this traumatic manner, his fall coming more than 20 years before the decapitation of the country's political class for similar reasons.
Leone was twice famously photographed making the "horns" sign with his index and little fingers, a traditional southern Italian gesture used as an insult or to ward off the evil eye.
Guardian Unlimited | Obituaries | Obituary: Giovanni Leone (949 words)
Leone's presidential dignity was further strained by the behaviour of his family and the court of hangers-on who accompanied him to the Quirinale Palace.
Leone's wife, Donna Vittoria, was an active society hostess.
Leone's downfall was precipitated by the Lockheed scandal, in particular the payment of bribes to Italian politicians in connection with the purchase of Hercules military transport planes from the United States.
