Don Sturzo, who resigned the leadership of the Partito Popolare (Catholic Party) last July (TIME, July 23), was expected to resume his command of the Party. Behind the scenes he still wields considerable power. Besides being a politician and a priest, Don Sturzo is a passionate lover of music. He is to be seen any Sunday listening to the classical concerts at the Augusteum in Rome.
