S. Labbate, L’attenzione mediorientale dell’Italia nelle carte di Emilio Colombo (1980-1986), in «Meridiana», 2024, vol. 111, pp. 225-247

Emilio Colombo was at the center of Italy's renewed attention to the Middle East in the 1980s. St... more Emilio Colombo was at the center of Italy's renewed attention to the Middle East in the 1980s. Starting with the Venice European Council of 12 and 13 June 1980, which represented an unprecedented turn in European foreign policy towards the Middle East and in which Palazzo Chigi played an important and leading role, Rome became increasingly interested in the Mediterranean chessboard. The present study aims to further explore Italy's focus on the Middle East in the early 1980s, primarily through the archival records of Emilio Colombo, which have recently been made accessible by the Historical Archive of the Luigi Sturzo Institute.
