• Abstract
  Who was the first Westerner to sign a treaty with the emperor of Japan? Who managed the peace in the Balkans, the "powder keg of Europe", for thirty years by the merely tools of diplomacy? Who was emperor Franz Joseph's closest adviser for Eastern policy? Who became the dean of the ambassadors of Europe at the zenith of imperialism? Who was the most influential figure coming from Gorizia in the nineteenth century? How could a small borderland town get at the top of international diplomacy? The life and work of Enrico de Calice (1831-1912), still little known long-lived protagonist of the foreign policy of seven empires: Austro-Hungarian, British, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, German and Ottoman. More than fifty years of history through the glasses of diplomacy, meant as the "art of peace" in the era of imperialism and triumphant colonialism at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
