Sforza, Carlo, Count
born Sept. 25, 1873, Montignoso di Lunigiana, Italy
died Sept. 4, 1952, Rome

Italian diplomat.

He entered the diplomatic service in 1896 and served in embassies worldwide. He served as minister for foreign affairs (1920–21) and as Italy's ambassador to France (1922), but he resigned after refusing to serve under Benito Mussolini. A strong antifascist, he lived in voluntary exile in Belgium until 1939 and in the U.S. (1940–43). He returned to Italy after World War II to serve in various government posts, including minister of foreign affairs (1947–51).
