His all-female staff distributed gift copies of the Koran to the participants, according to Paolo Lo Mele, a reporter from Ansa news agency, who sneaked in, posing as a hostess.
The women were paid €50 (£44), and lectured on the Koran, the superiority of Islam, the failings of Christianity, and the role of women in the Western world – where, Gaddafi said, they were "often used as pieces of furniture, changed when it pleases men".
The reaction was distinctly mixed regarding whether €50 was enough to sit through it all. "I was expecting a party, not a lesson, but it was a very interesting experience," one attendee told Ansa. Another blonde woman, in a fake rabbit skin coat, was rather more critical, however. "I feel very offended with regard to my religion," she harrumphed.
Fittingly for a leader who'd flown in to discuss world famine, there was no wasteful banquet on offer. In fact, many of the guests later complained they weren't offered any refreshments, not even a glass of water.
However, they were each given, in addition to the Koran, a copy of Gaddafi's famous "Green Book", containing all his pearls of wisdom.
Ahead of yesterday evening's session, it was promised that Gaddafi would field questions from the floor.
As current chairman of the African Union, and self-appointed spokesman for Africa, Gaddafi also managed to find time to attend the UN food summit. He was introduced by summit host and Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, who appeared in high spirits, possibly because the meeting had given him an excuse to postpone an appearance in a
Milan court on tax fraud charges. Gaddafi was on similarly barnstorming form there, blasting the "blatant hypocrisy" of Western powers, which offered "charity" to the world's poor while "sacking" their natural resources.
