Giulio Andreotti (Rome, 1919–2013) was a towering figure in Italian politics and diplomacy in the post-World War II era. This collection, drawn from Andreotti's personal papers housed at the Istituto Luigi Sturzo, offers a unique glimpse into Italy's role in NATO and international affairs during his tenure. The archive includes a wide array of letters, telegrams, reports, notes, and memoranda authored by officials from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE), the Ministry of Defense, ambassadors, and diplomatic advisers. The materials are broadly related to NATO affairs and include dossiers prepared by MAE officials for the sessions of North Atlantic Council, special meetings of NATO Ministers of Foreign Affairs or Ministers of Defense, Andreotti’s visits abroad, and visits of important international leaders in Italy. The materials were selected and described by Dr. Lodovica Clavarino as part of a joint Wilson Center-Roma Tre University-Istituto Sturzo project.
