Former Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi is celebrating his 86th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed politicians of his generation.

Popular politician Romano Prodi has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 86th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Prodi, a cultural icon

Born in Scandiano on August 9, 1939, Romano Prodi's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Italian history. Prodi's not just a great politician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Romano hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Romano Prodi as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 86.

Happy Birthday, Romano, you're the best!
