Viviana Andreoli (22 August, 1919 - 6 September, 2005) was a politician who served as the sixteenth Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas, serving from 1997 to 2001, and as member of Parliament for Bencivenga from 1956 to 1992, and for Bencivenga-Lazzari from 1992 until her retirement from politics in 2001.
Early life
Viviana Andreoli was born in Bencivenga, which at the time was part of the Etrurian possession of the Assimas Islands, as the youngest of six children to Rolfo Scaffidi, and Ernesta Scaffidi, who were farmers living near Bencivenga.
She started attending the School of the Sisters of Charity in 1925. In 1930, she underwent the avviamento al lavoro, as her parents wanted her to stay in the countryside. Thus, by 1933, after completing her programme, she officially completed her education, and became a farmer, like her parents and siblings.
In 1938, she met and married a schoolteacher, Benedetto Andreoli. This allowed her to leave the farm, and move to the village of Bencivenga. However, the next few years were greatly shaped by the Solarian War, as the Assimas Islands was occupied over by Imaguan forces.
Following the war's conclusion, while she was initially bitter at the occupation, after hearing of the adoption of the Imaguan education system to replace the Etrurian model on all levels except for university education, she realized the benefits of such a system, as now, "all my children shall be able to receive a better education than I ever could."
Early political career
Constituency association
In 1948, her close friend, Odorico Sirna was nominated by the newly established Democratic Labour constituency association to run for election to represent the newly-established constituency of Bencivenga in the Lesser House of Parliament. At his urging, he requested that she join the constituency association.
Once she joined, she discovered a "new world of possibilities: what had once been an impossible dream of me, a woman, shaping affairs for our little constituency, is now a reality." After Sirna's victory over Conservative candidate Ariosto Cardinali, Sirna gave her a job opportunity, where she would be his secretary at his offices in Bencivenga. She accepted the offer.
At her position, she gained "clear insights" as to how Imaguan politics worked, through Sirna's activities. As she garnered more information, she felt "empowered" to not only "make things better" for Bencivenga, but also for Imagua and the Assimas.
By 1952, she wholeheartedly threw her support to Sirna's campaign, to the point that many in the constituency association started to consider that should Sirna retire, that she take over the helm of the Bencivenga constituency association. With Sirna defeating Conservative Terzo Onorato and Democratic candidate Sosteneo Carrano, he was able to keep his seat, and Andreoli remained his secretary.
However, by 1956, Odorico Sirna announced his retirement from politics. The local constituency association nominated Viviana Andreoli to run under the DLP ticket for the constituency of Bencivenga, and despite her admitted "misgivings," she accepted the nomination.
She competed against Conservative challenger Ariosto Cardinali and Democratic candidate Carrano, campaigning on "continuing to represent the interests of Bencivenga" in the Lesser House, and criticizing both candidates for their "arrogant actions" during the campaign. This helped boost her popularity, and she won the seat with 53.5% of the vote.

Personal life
Viviana Andreoli first met Benedetto Andreoli in 1938, and a few months later married. They had two sons: Gastone Andreoli, who was born in 1939, and died in 1942 from meningitis, and Cesario Andreoli, who was born in 1945, as well as two daughters: Tatiana Ciresi, born in 1941, and Marzia Forner, born in 1948.
Her native language was Imaguan Creole, but she was fluent in Etrurian. However, she was "barely fluent" in Estmerish, to such a degree that she refused to partake in Estmerish-language interviews, or speak on the floor in Estmerish.
Religion
Viviana Andreoli was baptized as a Solarian Catholic, and was raised to be a devout Catholic.
