More make-up (and hair dye) than his 40 virgin bodyguards, but Libyan leader Gaddafi is still a murderous menace
Rome has had its fair share of triumphant parades by bizarre tyrants in its long history.
And the ageing Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's arrival on Monday ranked alongside any grotesque ceremony staged by Caligula or Nero.
It is easy to see why Italy's Left-wing opposition denounced the dictator's reception by Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi as a 'rock star welcome'.
Gaddafi's arrived in Rome with a 300-strong retinue on three Airbuses. As ever, he brought with him a giant Bedouin tent, which was erected in a park in the centre of the city and where he was to stay and conduct business.
There was no immediate sign of the camel he took on a visit to Paris in 2007 when he pitched his tent in the grounds of a five-star hotel.
With gelled and carefully dyed hair, the Colonel was made up to look like a cross between Michael Jackson and the deranged music mogul murderer Phil Spector.
Pinned to his chest was a large photograph of a Libyan resistance leader being hanged by Italian colonialists in 1931.
Although with his peaked cap, red flashes, gold braid epaulettes and
an array of military decorations that resembled a Dulux colour chart,
he turned out in a uniform that Italy's last tyrant, fascist leader Benito Mussolini, would have killed for.
But it was the gun-toting female bodyguards in their khaki uniforms and red berets in the 67-year old dictator's entourage,
girls who wear Kalashnikovs like Gucci fashion accessories,
who stole the show.
Gaddafi is one of the maddest dictators on Earth and he doesn't like being upstaged - unless it's by this 40-strong troupe of
well-equipped, allvirgin minders.
He may have conducted his 1969 military coup against Lybia's last monarch, King Idris, under an Islamic revolutionary banner. He may have proclaimed himself a pioneer of 'Islamic socialism'. But
Gaddafi's female security detail don't hide their charms under a burqa.
Bizarrely, he claims them to be a symbol of his belief in female emancipation. 'Women should be trained for combat, so that they do not become easy prey for their enemies,' he says.
All of his girls are said to swear an oath that they will give their lives for him and it is claimed they never leave his side, night or day, and he insists they remain virgins. There is no shortage of volunteers for what is seen as a prestigious job.
A special training college puts recruits through a tough physical programme and girls who don't drop out emerge as trained killers, experts in firearms and martial arts.
Gaddafi makes the final selection and, despite his insistence that his guards are chaste, rumours abound that he demands their sexual favours.
The girls wear lipstick, jewellery, polished nails, even high heels - but their armed combat training has been tested more than once.
In 1998 one of them was killed and seven others wounded when Islamic fundamentalists in Libya ambushed the Colonel's motorcade. The dead girl, Aisha, rumoured to be his favourite, threw herself across Gaddafi's body to stop the bullets.
But how is it that Gaddafi, once regarded by the West as the father of terrorism and the man behind the Lockerbie bombing in 1988, is now welcomed in Rome with open arms by Berlusconi - a leader famously equally bewitched by female charms?
The truth is that, despite his often ludicrous appearance and behaviour, Gaddafi is one of the great survivors, a despot who has led his country for 40 years despite worldwide vilification - brutal in crushing domestic dissent and who changes his tune on the world stage as it suits him.
Like other monstrous leaders, he has written works of literature to enlighten mankind - his Green Book which, over three rambling volumes, sets out his views on political and social theories.
But another offering - Escape To Hell And Other Stories - predicts a German Fourth Reich lording it over Britain and America, and which tells you of his loathing for cities, Margaret Thatcher and humidity. (He loves the countryside and artichokes.)
When he seized power in 1969 under a Marxist banner, few thought his regime would last. But he had a ruthless cunning and an instinct for when to strike his rivals.
In the 1970s, Gaddafi personally ordered public executions. In 1977, he was present at hangings of students who had protested against his regime.
He spat defiance against the West, proclaiming his belief in Arab nationalism - yet he loathed Islamic fundamentalism. So while he happily tortured fundamentalists at home, he became the No 1 state sponsor of terrorism against the West.
