Andreatta studied law at the University of Padua and economics at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan and at the University of Cambridge . He worked as a lecturer at the Università Cattolica and at the universities of Urbino , Trento and Bologna , and was the founder and rector of the University of Calabria . In 1968 he became a corresponding member of the Accademia Roveretana degli Agiati .

In the early 1970s, Andreatta became an economic advisor to the Moro government . This promoted his rise in the Democrazia Cristiana , for which he held a seat in parliament between 1976 and 1992 as a member of parliament (1983-1987) and senator (1976-1983, 1987-1992). From 1994 until his death he was again a member of the Chamber of Deputies.

Enrico Letta was one of his closest collaborators in the Foreign Ministry .

His economic ideas influenced the future prime minister Romano Prodi , in whose first term of office from 1996 to 1998 he served as defense minister - after the collapse of the Democrazia Cristiana now as a member of the Partito Popolare Italiano .

On December 15, 1999, Andreatta suffered a severe attack during a parliamentary session and was in a coma for over seven years following an ischemic stroke . He died on March 26, 2007 in the Sant'Orsola Polyclinic in Bologna.
