About the Item

This is a lot of 2 Autographs by Dino Grandi to the Countess A.L. Pecci- Blunt, composed of: Autograph Letter Signed. London, March 13th, 1937, XV. In Italian. One page, single-sided, on letterhead paper "Italian Embassy-4, Grosnevor Square, 1". Including original envelope. Autograph Greeting Letter Signed. Two pages, single-sided.

From the Italian Embassy of London and from the Monistero degli Affari Esteri, the Italian diplomat, Dino Grandi writes these greeting and thank-you letters to the Countess and Patron of arts, Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt. These are hard times, during the Fascist period, as the Countess Pecci-Blunt writes in an autograph note attached "Epoca del ventennio", and how Dino Grandi refers. 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.During the second post war, 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. Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971) Best-known as "Mimì" Pecci-Blunt , the Italian noblewoman was an art collector, patron and nephew of Pope Leo XIII. Extremely volcanic, she was very active in the cultural field, opening numerous lounges, galleries and theaters. In 1919 she married Cecil Blumenthal, later changed to Blunt, a wealthy Jewish banker from New York, heir to an important collection of nineteenth-century French painting. His Parisian and Roman salons was frequented by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel, and Aldo Palazzeschi!
