Propaganda Due (P2)
Documented What these labels mean →An Italian Masonic lodge turned covert political network under Licio Gelli (a former fascist). A 1981 police raid on Gelli's villa (Castiglion Fibocchi) found a list of **962** names (March 1981), including military and intelligence chiefs, MPs, and Silvio Berlusconi. The resulting scandal forced PM Forlani to resign (May 1981). The lodge was tied to Banco Ambrosiano (Roberto Calvi, found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge in June 1982) and the Vatican Bank losses, and to the 'strategy of tension' era. Dissolved by Italian law in 1982.

Notes
- Calvi's death was first ruled suicide. 2002 forensic review: murder (neck injuries inconsistent with hanging; he hadn't handled the bricks in his pockets). June 6, 2007: Rome acquitted Pippo Calò, Flavio Carboni, Ernesto Diotallevi and Silvano Vittor for insufficient evidence, while still treating the death as murder.
