Bettino Craxi

Bettino Craxi (born Benedetto Craxi in Milan, Italy on February 24, 1934) was an Italian politician. The diminutive of Benedetto used to be Benito between revolutionary Italian families, as a Spanish and South American reference, until Benito Mussolini made it inexpedient, imprudent and offensive to use that form.
