Abstract

As seen in this study Eugenio Morreale wasn't a professional diplomat in the traditional way, but he was a good representative of fascism and even a convinced fascist. We don't know a lot about his life until his stay in Vienna as correspondent of the newspaper Il Popolo d'Italia, but we know many interesting things about his activities after the Spanish Civil War when he arrived at Malaga to preside the consulate in the Andalusian city. With the Italian armistice of 1943, and the defection of the ambassador in Spain from the Mussolini cause, he became the last bastion of the Italian dictator in the country. Here we examine the particular features of the last man who defended the Italian political ideology in a new project: the Italian Social Republic.
