Background
Grandi was one of Mussolini's quadrumvirs after the march on Rome in 1922, foreign minister (1919-1932), and ambassador to London (1932-1939). Later, in 1943, he moved the vote in the Fascist grand council which brought about Mussolini's resignation. Sentenced to death in absence, he lived in exile in Brazil. He returned to Italy in 1973 and wrote two acclaimed books, The Foreign Policy of Italy, 1929-1932 and My Country.
