Journal Article
Gian Paolo Tozzoli, diplomat and writer
2010
Overview
Gian Paolo Tozzoli ranks among the most relevant diplomat-writers of the Italian career. Born in Naples in 1926, he obtained a degree in Literature at the University of Bari and one in Law at Naples. He won the competition for the diplomatic service in 1954 and continued his activity as a journalist, later becoming an essayist, a poet, a novelist. He was posted in Belgrade, Basle, Geneva and New York as secretary and counsellor; successively in Tirana, Prague and Malta as ambassador. After three volumes of poetry: One hundred poems for a life, Malastrana and Suddenly, the world, he published an essay on Switzerland and the Swiss translated in German with the title Fünf Millionen Gerechte, The prophetic temptation on political prevision, and Albania, the last border of Stalinism. Switching to fiction, Tozzoli wrote two novels: Prince Dimitri and Apotheosis of an idiot, as well as various tales. His life and works confirm how diplomacy and literature can sometimes merge.
