HISTORY OF THE ITALIAN DIPLOMATIC DELEGATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE PRESENCE OF CONSULAR DELEGATIONS IN PHILADELPHIA

Even before the end of the unification of Italy , various Italian States including the Republic of Genoa , the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia , the Papal State , the Duchy of Parma, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany entertained diplomatic or consular relations with the United States. In Philadelphia, Count Joseph Ravara was first appointed Consul in 1791 and later credited as General Consul of Genoa in the United States (see article in the newspaper in Philadelphia in 1791 which cites that Consul General Ravara was presented to President Washington and Secretary of State Jefferson).
