==Licio Gelli's list found in 1981==
On 17 March 1981, a {{Interlanguage link|list composed by Licio Gelli |it|Appartenenti alla P2}} was found in his country house (Villa Wanda). The list should be contemplated with some caution,{{according to whom|date=January 2016}} as it is considered{{by whom|date=January 2016}} to be a combination of P2 members and the contents of Gelli's [[Rolodex]]. Many on the list were apparently never asked if they wanted to join P2, and it is unknown to what extent the list includes members who were formally initiated into the lodge. Since 1981, some of those on the list have demonstrated their distance from P2 to the satisfaction of the Italian legal system.<ref name="nb">{{cite web |url=http://www.namebase.org/cgi-bin/nb04/dE |title=Italian Parliament.

On 21 May 1981, the Italian government released the list.<ref>{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130516131901/http://archivio900.globalist.it/it/documenti/doc.aspx?id=42 |archive-date=16 May 2013 |url=http://archivio900.globalist.it/it/documenti/doc.aspx?id=42 |title=Elenco degli iscritti alla Loggia P2 |trans-title=List of members of the P2 Lodge |language=it |url-status=dead}}</ref> The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry headed by Tina Anselmi considered the list reliable and genuine. It decided to publish the list in its concluding report, {{lang|it|Relazione della Commissione parlamentare d'inchiesta sulla Loggia massonica P2}}.<ref name="p2 list">{{lang|it|italic=no|2=[http://www.archivio900.it/it/documenti/finestre-900.aspx?c=1163 "Relazione di Maggioranza (Anselmi)"]}}, Commissione parlamentare d'inchiesta sulla Loggia massonica P2, 12 July 1984 {{in lang|it}}. The list is in book 1, volume 1, pp. 803–874 and 885–942, and in book 1, volume 2, p. 213 and 1126.</ref>

The list contains 962 names (including Gelli's). It has been claimed that at least 1,000 names may still be secret, as the membership numbers begin with number 1,600, which suggests that the complete list has not yet been found.<ref name="Ginsborg p144" /> The list included all of the heads of the secret services, 195 officers of the different armed forces (12 generals of the [[Carabinieri]], 5 of the financial police [[Guardia di Finanza]], 22 of the army, 4 of the air force and 8 admirals), as well as 44 members of parliament, 3 ministers and a secretary of a political party, leading magistrates, a few prefects and heads of police, bankers and businessmen, civil servants, journalists and broadcasters.<ref name="Ginsborg p144" /> Included were a top official of the [[Banco di Roma]], Italy's third-largest bank at the time, and a former director-general of the [[Banca Nazionale del Lavoro]] (BNL), the country's largest bank.<ref name="Time 1981-06-08" /> The political deputies on the list spanned most of the political spectrum, including the socialist [[Italian Socialist Party|PSI]] and [[Italian Democratic Socialist Party|PSDI]], the centrist [[Christian Democracy (Italy)|DC]], [[Italian Republican Party|PRI]] and [[Italian Liberal Party|PLI]] as well as the far-right [[Italian Social Movement|MSI]]; the communist [[Italian Communist Party|PCI]] was the only major political force not represented on the list.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Guarino |first1=Mario |last2=Raugei |first2=Fedora |date=2016 |title=Licio Gelli: Vita, misteri, scandali del capo della Loggia P2 |location=Bari |publisher=Edizioni Dedalo |pages=358–392 |isbn=9788822063304}}</ref>

After the list was discovered, the Prime Minister [[Arnaldo Forlani]] waited until 21 May [[1981]], before making public the list of P2 members, which included the names of 2 ministers then in office (the socialist [[Enrico Manca]], and the Christian Democrat [[Franco Foschi]]) and 5 undersecretaries ({{Ill|Costantino Belluscio|it}} of the PSDI, Pasquale Bandiera of the PRI, {{Ill|Francesco Fossa|it}} of the PSI, [[Rolando Picchioni]] of the DC and {{Ill|Anselmo Martoni|it}} of the PSDI, the latter however mentioned as "asleep", i.e. resigned).

Among the 962 people listed as members of the [[Masonic lodge]] were politicians, businessmen, lawyers, company directors and, above all, members of the [[Italian armed forces]] and the [[Italian secret service]]. Michele Sindona himself appeared on the list of P2 members, confirming the suspicions of the investigating judges. Colonel Bianchi resisted various attempts at intimidation, as most of the people mentioned were still in power, and forwarded the list to the competent authorities. Among the generals, the press repeatedly mentioned [[Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa]], although there was only a registration form signed by him and no evidence of active membership.<ref>{{Ill|Aldo Alessandro Mola|it}}, ''Storia della Massoneria italiana dalle origini ai nostri giorni'', Bompiani, Milano 1982, p.&nbsp;770.</ref>

Regarding the secret services, it was noted that not only the chiefs were registered (among them [[Vito Miceli]],<ref name="Montanelli, Cervi" /> head of the [[SIOS]] and later director of the [[Servizio Informazioni Difesa|SID]], {{Ill|Giuseppe Santovito|it}} of the [[SISMI]], Walter Pelosi of the [[Executive Committee for Information and Security Services|CESIS]] and Giulio Grassini of the [[SISDE]]) who were politically appointed, but also the most important officials with a consolidated internal career. Among these, the following stood out: General Giovanni Allavena (responsible for the SIFAR files), Colonel Giovanni Minerva (manager of the intricate case of the military aeroplane [[Argo 16]] and considered one of the most important men in the entire post-war military service) and General {{Ill|Gianadelio Maletti|it}},<ref name="Montanelli, Cervi">Indro Montanelli and Mario Cervi, ''L'Italia degli anni di fango (1978-1993)'', Milano, Rizzoli, 1993.</ref> who along with Captain {{Ill|Antonio Labruna|it}} (also a member) was suspected of colluding with the subversive cells of [[Franco Freda]] and for this reason tried and convicted of aiding and abetting.

The hypothesis was put forward that the list found in Gelli's villa was not the complete list, and that many other names managed to avoid being implicated. In the parliamentary commission's reconstruction, to the 962 on the list found, one would have to add the alleged members of that occult circle of which Gelli was supposedly the link with the lodge. Gelli himself, as also highlighted by the Anselmi Commission, in an interview in [[1976]], had spoken of more than two thousand four hundred members.

According to the prosecutor of [[Rome]] at the time, there were a total of 2000 members on the two lists, while on 29 May [[1977]] the weekly magazine ''[[L'Espresso]]'' wrote: «P2 Lodge... It is the most compact and powerful nucleus of the Freemasons of Palazzo Giustiniani: it has 2400 members, the cream of finance, bureaucracy, the Armed Forces, the state's boyars, listed in a coded archive... Gelli, a regular interlocutor of the highest offices of the State (he often sees Andreotti and is received at the Quirinale), is listened to as an advisor to the top brass of the Armed Forces, with trusted and devoted friends in the judiciary».<ref>Dario Fiorentino, ''La Loggia P2'', collana Storia dei grandi segreti d'Italia, n.5, La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rcs MediaGroup, 2021, p. 84.</ref><ref>[[Massimo Teodori]], ''P2: la controstoria'', Milano, SugarCo, 1986.</ref>

Gelli himself, commenting on the presence of numerous P2 members in the committees of experts that dealt with the kidnapping of Aldo Moro (March–May 1978), stated that the presence of a large number of lodge members in these committees was due to the fact that at the time many prominent personalities were members, so it was natural that several of them would be found in these committees. Gelli claimed that the members were not normally aware of the identity of the other members, but that the existence of the P2 Lodge was well known, having also been discussed in several interviews well before the list was discovered.<ref>{{Ill|Marco Dolcetta|it}}, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090902113621/http://iltempo.ilsole24ore.com/2008/10/20/941372-licio_gelli.shtml Licio Gelli: "La P2 non c'entra con la morte di Moro"], ''[[Il Tempo]]'' (October 20, 2008).</ref>

Hypotheses were made about who the occult head of the organisation could be, Roberto Calvi's widow declared that Giulio Andreotti was the real head of the lodge, while the role of vice-president was supposedly held by {{Ill|Francesco Cosentino|it}} (who was registered on the P2 list with membership card number 1618): however, no reliable evidence has ever been found to confirm this statement.<ref>''[http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1989/02/03/la-vedova-calvi.html La vedova Calvi]'', in ''La Repubblica'' (February 3, 1989).</ref><ref>''[http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1989/02/04/una-loggia-soltanto-non-mi-basterebbe.html Una loggia soltanto non mi basterebbe]'', in ''La Repubblica'' (February 4, 1989).</ref><ref>''[http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1989/02/07/il-pm-infondate-le-accuse-della-vedova.html Il pm: 'Inforndate le accuse della vedova Calvi]'', in ''La Repubblica'' (February 7, 1989).</ref> Nara Lazzerini, for many years Licio Gelli's secretary and lover, also stated in 1981 and 1995 before magistrates that it was said in the lodge that the real boss was Giulio Andreotti:<ref>Mario Guarino and Fedora Raugei, ''[https://books.google.it/books?id=P4hcCwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=it#v=onepage&q&f=false Licio Gelli: Vita, misteri, scandali del capo della Loggia P2]'', Edizioni Dedalo srl, 2016, {{ISBN|978-88-220-6330-4}}.

Andreotti, for his part, had always denied knowing Gelli, until the publication of the aforementioned photo of Buenos Aires. Licio Gelli, for whom the judiciary issued an arrest warrant on 22 May 1981 for violation of art. 257 of the penal code (political or military espionage), temporarily took refuge in Uruguay.
