Italy's Ambassador at Tokio Marquis Guiccioli Sees Elevation
The Marquis Alexander Guiccioli, recently promoted to Ambassador of Italy at Tokio, is noted as a former Governor of Turin and Florence and as a key envoy at Belgrade amid delicate regional ties. His wife Countess Benckendorf aided Princess Helen, with European rulers boycotting Belgrade due to assassins’ immunity.
