The US ambassador to Italy |
The US Ambassador to Italy is the highest diplomatic representative of the United States to Italy.
Overview
Since 1840, the United States has had diplomatic representation in the Italian Republic and its predecessor nation, the Kingdom of Italy, with a break in relations from 1941 to 1944 while Italy and the U.S. were at war during World War II.
After the war, Italy was under US occupation until 1947, by the time which the US had installed its people in all positions of power, using especially the Christian Democracy party, which came to power after the CIA rigged the 1948 elections, and the intelligence services (SIFAR), as its tools.
During the Cold War, Italy was full of US-led deep state activities, some of which were partially exposed later, like Gladio and the Years of Lead.
