Insieme 200: celebrating 200 years of US diplomatic presence in Florence

The first US Consular agent to serve Florence was Vice Consular agent James Ombrosi, under mandate from the US Consulate in Leghorn (Livorno). In this talk, his distant successor, US Consul-General Benjamin Wohlauer, examines 200 years of diplomatic history.
