Lamberto Dini (born March 1, 1931), is a former Italian Prime Minister (1995-1996) and Foreign Minister (1996-2001).
Though he is not noted as a left-winger, Dini, in the confidence vote, is supported by the left-wing parties (apart from the Refounded Communists) and by the Northern League, whereas his erstwhile partners in the right-wing government choose to abstain ("benevolently", as they put it).
Dini is thus elected to the Chamber of Deputies, and serves for the entire legislature as Minister of Foreign Affairs in four successive centre-left governments, under Prodi, Massimo D'Alema (in two separate, successive Cabinets), and finally Giuliano Amato.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Taking a trip to Tripoli
Last week Italian Foreign Minister Lamberto Dini became the first high-ranking Western official to visit Libya just a day after the air travel ban on Libya was suspended following the handover of the two suspects in the Lockerbie bombing.
Dini, who met with Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi for an hour and a half in Sibha, 700 km south of Tripoli, confirmed that Italy has invited Libya to participate in the Euro-Mediterranean meetings to be held on 15 April in Stuttgart, as a first step towards Libya becoming a full member of the Euro-Med process.
Indeed, Dini's visit appeared to come too soon for the Maltese authorities, who continued to obey the article in the recently suspended UN restrictions that banned all international flights, and accordingly forbade the Falcon 900 carrying the foreign minister from flying through their air space.
