Massimiliano Cencelli, Architect of Italy's 'Manual' for Political Appointments, Dies at 90

Massimiliano Cencelli, a former Democrazia Cristiana official credited with devising the "manuale Cencelli" system for allocating political positions based on party strength and factions, has died at age 90. The "manual" itself was never a formal document but rather a method for proportional distribution of roles.
