Benedetti spent more time writing. He has written essays on the language of important international characters, such as Silvio Berlusconi, Henry Kissinger, and Pope Benedict XVI alias Joseph Ratzinger.
His numerous studies about language have helped to promote an awareness in Italy of officialese, journalese, legalese, medical jargon, pidgin, political jargon, and of terrorist organisations.
