DINO GRANDi. FASCISt. ITALY . WW II
He was a Fascist politician, minister for external affairs, Justice and President of Parliament during WW II.
In 1939, he was recalled to Italy after trying to attempt a pact between his country and Britain to prevent Italy from entering World War II. Under pressure from Hitler, Mussolini removed him from the post of ambassador and appointed him Minister of Justice.As a diplomat, Grandi created a net of connections that were rivaled only by Mussolini's son-in-law, Galeazzo Ciano, and he attempted to use it for his own gains. Thus, he persuaded King Victor Emmanuel III to grant him a title in 1937,and he managed to retain a comfortable position until he was sent by Mussolini to the Greek Front with the other Gerarchi in 1941. As Mussolini's ambassador to London, he had affairs with some of the most influential noblewomen of the time--- including Lady Alexandra Curzon, daughter of the Viceroy of India, George Curzon.As a diplomat, Grandi created a net of connections that were rivaled only by Mussolini's son-in-law, Galeazzo Ciano, and he attempted to use it for his own gains.

It sentenced Grandi to death in absentia for treason in the Verona trial that took place on 8 to 10 January 1944. Grandi, however, had made sure to flee to Francisco Franco's Spain in August 1943. He lived there, then in Portugal (1943–1948), Argentina,[5] and then São Paulo, Brazil, until he returned to Italy in the 1960s; he died in Bologna.
