His first Washington assignment was as an honorary attaché in 1895; he returned in 1908 after European postings.","As chargé, he pursued protection for Italian workers’ families. In March 1910 he challenged the consequences of the Supreme Court’s Maiorano decision, which prevented a nonresident relative from recovering damages for a death in Pennsylvania. He proposed either an additional agreement clarifying treaty rights or arbitration. His argument explicitly connected compensation rights with employers’ incentives to protect workers.","He also pressed for the extradition of Porter Charlton, who had confessed to killing his wife near Como. Montagliari sought provisional detention and, in July 1910, forwarded the Italian court papers with a formal extradition request.","By November 1918 he represented Italy to Montenegro’s exiled king in Paris. Reporting to Sonnino, he accused French authorities of obstructing a telegram inviting Montenegro to the Geneva Yugoslav conference."],"id":"italy:paolo di montagliari","identifiers":{},"legacyPersonIds":[],"legacyUrl":"https://chanceries.org/diplomat-a7d7358be2e458668607.html","name":"Paolo di Montagliari","notes":[],"paragraphSources":[["montagliari-career"],["montagliari-workers"],["montagliari-charlton"],["montagliari-montenegro"]],"profileUrl":"diplomat-a7d7358be2e458668607.html","relatedEvents":[],"relatedPeople":[],"relationships":[],"researchStatus":"reviewed","reviewedOn":"2026-10-28","revision":"283bc52c44af8299","sources":[{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"1987","id":"montagliari-career","locator":"Printed pp. 291–292, PDF pages 339–340; scan checked","publisher":"Università degli Studi di Lecce, repertory hosted by Stefano Baldi","title":"La formazione della diplomazia nazionale: Di Montagliari Giovanni Paolo","type":"scholarship","url":"https://baldi.diplomacy.edu/diplo/texts/La_Formazione_della_diplomazia_Nazionale.pdf"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"1910-03-21","id":"montagliari-workers","locator":"Document 696, pp. 662–663","publisher":"U.S. Department of State, FRUS 1910","title":"Montagliari to Knox, 21 March 1910","type":"primary-record","url":"https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1910/d696"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"1910-07-28","id":"montagliari-charlton","locator":"Document 688, pp. 652–653","publisher":"U.S. Department of State, FRUS 1910","title":"Montagliari to Knox, 28 July 1910","type":"primary-record","url":"https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1910/d688"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"1918-11-08","id":"montagliari-montenegro","locator":"Series VI, volume I, document 62","publisher":"Ministero degli Affari Esteri, Documenti Diplomatici Italiani","title":"Montagliari to Sonnino, 8 November 1918","type":"primary-record","url":"https://www.farnesina.ipzs.it/series/SESTA%20SERIE/volumi/VOLUME%20%20I/full"},{"accessedOn":"","date":"","id":"mission-703f29e0a7df877803a9","locator":"","publisher":"","title":"Paolo di Montagliari — mission record (1910)","type":"Mission record","url":"https://2009-2017.state.gov/s/cpr/rls/94063.htm"},{"accessedOn":"","date":"Accessed 26 October 2026","id":"mission-67e5252c04637df36483","locator":"","publisher":"","title":"Historical representation: Kingdom of Italy","type":"Mission record","url":"https://www.quirinale.it/it/pagine/italian-tricolour-flag"}],"topics":["workers’ compensation","extradition","Montenegro","Yugoslav unification"]},"schemaVersion":1}
