Between September 11th and October 5th, 1958 Randolfo Pacciardi visited the main capitals of the Middle East and met all the most important executives of the Arab world and of Israel, among which Nasser and Ben Gurion, Kassem and King Saud, King Hussein and Camille Chamoun. The Premier and Ministry of Foreign Affairs Amintore Fanfani had entrusted him with this task, even if not officially. The mission took place only few months after some important events had changed the Middle Eastern context: the founding of the United Arab Republic, the coup d’état which had overthrown the pro-British monarchy in Iraq and the AngloAmerican military intervention in Lebanon and Jordan. This essay contextualizes Pacciardi’s mission in the Italian and Middle Eastern situation and retraces its stages through the unpublished and detailed reports written by this important representative of the Italian Republican Party. While the essay identifies the reasons that led Fanfani to entrust him with this task, it also puts particular emphasis on Pacciardi’s cleverness in carrying out his Middle-Eastern talks.
Tra l’11 settembre e il 5 ottobre 1958 Randolfo Pacciardi si recò nelle principali capitali del Medio Oriente ed incontrò i maggiori dirigenti del mondo arabo e di Israele dell’epoca: da Nasser a Ben Gurion, da Kassem a re Saud, da re Hussein a Camille Chamoun. La missione, pur non avendo un carattere ufficiale, gli era stata affidata dal presidente del Consiglio e ministro degli Esteri, Amintore Fanfani, e si svolse pochi mesi dopo che importanti avvenimenti avevano mutato l’assetto mediorientale: la fondazione della Repubblica Araba Unita, il colpo di Stato che aveva rovesciato la monarchia filo-britannica in Iraq e l’intervento militare angloamericano in Libano e Giordania. Il saggio, dopo averla contestualizzata nel quadro politico italiano e mediorientale, ne ricostruisce le tappe attraverso i dettagliati – e finora inediti – resoconti redatti dall’autorevole esponente del Partito repubblicano italiano, sottolineando la scaltrezza con cui Pacciardi seppe condurre i suoi colloqui e cercando di individuare gli intenti che spinsero Fanfani ad attribuirgli tale incarico.

Abstract
Between September 11th and October 5th, 1958 Randolfo Pacciardi visited the main capitals of the Middle East and met all the most important executives of the Arab world and of Israel, among which Nasser and Ben Gurion, Kassem and King Saud, King Hussein and Camille Chamoun. The Premier and Ministry of Foreign Affairs Amintore Fanfani had entrusted him with this task, even if not officially. The mission took place only few months after some important events had changed the Middle Eastern context: the founding of the United Arab Republic, the coup d’état which had overthrown the pro-British monarchy in Iraq and the AngloAmerican military intervention in Lebanon and Jordan. This essay contextualizes Pacciardi’s mission in the Italian and Middle Eastern situation and retraces its stages through the unpublished and detailed reports written by this important representative of the Italian Republican Party. While the essay identifies the reasons that led Fanfani to entrust him with this task, it also puts particular emphasis on Pacciardi’s cleverness in carrying out his Middle-Eastern talks.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
