Life

Graziano graduated with first-class honors in French literature from the University of Turin, the city in which he then taught for several years. After moving to France, he obtained his doctorate in Italian studies from the University Stendhal-Grenoble III, defending a thesis about Italian political identity.
Thanks to the French geopolitician Michel Korinman and to Lucio Caracciolo, editor of the Italian geopolitical journal Limes, he entered the world of geopolitical studies, in which he specializes in geopolitics of religions.
He teaches at the Paris Institute of International Affairs, Sciences Po, at the Sorbonne and at the American Graduate School in Paris. He regularly publishes in Limes, and he is the geopolitical columnist of La Voce di New York. He has also collaborated with the journals Modern Italy, Geopolitical Affairs, International Affairs Forum, Heartland, Outre-Terre, as well as with the Corriere della Sera and Il Sole 24 Ore. The American edition of his book on Italian political identity, The Failure of Italian Nationhood, was reviewed by The New Yorker and The Economist. In June 2015 he was invited by the UN Correspondents Association to discuss his thesis about the geopolitics of religion at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.
