Investigates the work of Italian literary figure & diplomat Roberto Ducci (1944-1984). As an ideal representation of "humanitas," Ducci described the perfect ambassador as "serious, charming, intelligent, & imaginative." Ducci's vision for Europe was a united federated state, with a unified foreign & economic policy in the global perspective. As Italy's ambassador to Yugoslavia & Austria, Ducci's attitude toward the nuclear nonproliferation treaty revealed his understanding of a unified Europe consisting primarily of a Franco-English supremacy, by virtue of their nuclear arsenal. In the early 1980s, Ducci continued to write about defense & European-US relations, but voiced disappointment with European rejection of various approaches to economic & political unity. J. Sadler
