St. Paul, Brasil, Christmas 1958.
Dino Grandi (Mordano, 1895 - Bologna, 1988)
Dino Grandi was an Italian politician and diplomat, who went down in history for the presentation of the homonymous agenda to the Grand Council of Fascism on 25 July 1943 which led to the dismissal of Benito Mussolini. He was foreign minister, minister of Grace and Justice and ambassador to London of the Kingdom of Italy.
In 1943 Dino Grandi moved to Spain and Portugal, where he resided until 1948. The forties were particularly hard: in Portugal he gave repetitions of Latin while his wife worked as a milliner to survive. Luck returned in the 1950s when he had representative positions for Fiat. During the same period he was a regular consultant to the US authorities, in particular to the ambassador in Rome, Clare Boothe Luce. Grandi often served as an intermediary in political and industrial operations between Italy and the United States. He then moved to Latin America, where he lived mainly in Brazil, owner of an agricultural estate.
The definitive return to Italy took place in the sixties. Arriving in his homeland, Grandi opened a model farm in the countryside of Modena, in Albareto. Finally he took up a house in Bologna in the historic center, where he died in 1988 at the age of 93.
