The most interesting Masonic Lodge in Italia, was an offspring of the Grande Oriente Lodge, the famous Propaganda Due, P2. Led by Gelli, it was finally labled as criminal organization, to overtake the italian state, by law enforcement. When they (police) rided Gellis House they found a list of members (which one can find in internet). On the list where the heads of army, carabinieri, polizia di stato, political parties, governments, busininess men, journalists etc.. Alltogehter much of Italias Elite. Under them the "cavaliere di lavaro" Berlusconi. This P2 had also close connections to the Sidona and Calvi scandals and the "Cosa Nostra". I think it was the most powerful masonic lodge that ever existed.
