Sergio Romanois an Italian diplomat, writer, journalist, and historian who attended the 1992 Bilderberg meeting. He was a columnist for the newspaper Corriere della Sera.[1] Romano is also a former Italian ambassador to NATO and to Moscow. He was a member of the Trilateral Commission.

Education

Born in Vicenza, he grew up between Milan and Genoa in a middle-class business family. He graduated from the liceo classico Cesare Beccaria of Milan, then began working as a journalist. In 1952, ]he obtained a degree in Law at the University of Milan, but he never finished his studies in Political Science at the University of Genoa before graduation.[2] He travelled to European capitals (Paris, London, and Vienna) recently emerged from the war, which directed him to a diplomatic career.

Career

He joined the Foreign Ministry in 1954, and after four years spent in Rome he was assigned to the seat in London, where he remained until 1964. He returned to Rome to assist in the Cabinet Minister Saragat; when the latter was elected President of the Republic he followed him to the Quirinal Palace, assigned to the General Secretariat of the Presidency.

From 1968 to 1977, he was in Paris and, after being general manager of cultural relations and Ambassador to NATO (1983–85), he concluded his diplomatic career in Moscow, in the then Soviet Union in the years of the government of Bettino Craxi at a time when it came out of the isolation in which it had been held in previous periods, characterized by the absolute transatlantic allegiance of Italian diplomacy. He talks about this experience in the book Memoirs of a Conservative (2002), concise portrait of the bureaucratic class and Italian diplomacy (and not only) in the era of the Cold War.

He became a commentator for a number of Italian newspapers and magazines (La Stampa, Corriere della Sera, Limes, Il Mulino), the editor of a historical series for the publisher Corbaccio.[3] He has also taught at the University of California, Harvard University, the University of Pavia, University of Sassari and Bocconi University in Milan. He is also President of the General Prize Committee of the Balzan Foundation and a member of the Scientific Committee for the magazine Geopolitica.[4]
