EU Ambassador Emanuele Giaufret: “Everyone recognizes the connection of the Jewish People with Jerusalem”
A side from his professional duties Ambassador Emanuele Giaufret has attended to a few important personal matters in Israel.
He married his Korean-born wife at the residence of the Italian embassy in Ramat Gan. The couple’s first son Lorenzo was born at Ramat Gan’s Tel Hashomer hospital at the end of Giaufret’s previous stint in Israel from 2003 to 2007 as head of the European Commission’s political and trade section.
Lorenzo was just as enthused as his father when he learned that the family was headed back to Israel.
“He doesn’t have direct memories of his time in Israel but our second son was born in New York and the third in Brussels. The kids have always thought it’s important to identify with the place in which they were born ” said Giaufret who hails from La Spezia Italy and is a dual Italian-French citizen and fluent in Italian French English and Spanish.
