Life and diplomatic career[]
Andrea Canepari has been the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary with Letter of Credence for Italy in the Dominican Republic since 2017.[1][2] In 2017, he reopened the Embassy of Italy, inaugurating a new Diplomatic Chancery[3] and a new Residence and resuming political, cultural, and economic relations. In 2018, he promoted a cultural year program with more than 120 events in conjunction with institutions, companies, universities, and local cultural centers to celebrate 120 years of diplomatic relations between Italy and the Dominican Republic.[4] In 2019, he spearheaded another cultural year program to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the arrival of the first resident bishop in Santo Domingo, the Italian Alessandro Geraldini.[5] The celebrations of the two cultural years aimed to highlight the significant common history that Italy and the Dominican Republic share and to create new opportunities for future collaboration. Canepari is the Honorary President of the revamped Dominican-Italian Chamber of Commerce, which now includes several prominent entrepreneurs from the Dominican Republic on its board of directors. From 2013 to 2017, he was the Consul General of Italy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with consular jurisdiction for the States of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey (southern counties), North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. He has received numerous awards and more than 200 mentions from the press, radio, and television.[6][7][8] In 2016 he received the 2016 “Global Philadelphia Awards”[9] biennial award from Temple University, awarded to those who stand out for their enhancement of international relations for the city of Philadelphia. He has been a part of numerous committees and commissions with the objective of consolidating the international status of the Philadelphia region through increasingly deeper cooperation between Italy and Europe, among which include: the Papal Event Committee (on the occasion of the Pope’s visit to Philadelphia in September of 2015); the Presidential Advisory Board of Jefferson University, facilitating the creation of the first medical degree recognized in both Italy and the United States; the Hearth Ball Executive Leadership; the Board of Directors of Mid-Atlantic Division of the American Liver Foundation; Member of the Studio Incamminati, School of Contemporary Realist Art Board; Honorary Founding Member of “USA250,” the committee in charge of organizing the celebrations in Philadelphia for America’s 250th Anniversary in 2026; External Advisory Board Member for the Professional Science Master Degree Program in Bioinnovation, Department of Biology, Biotechnology Center College of Science and Technology, Temple University, Philadelphia; and the International Advisory Board of Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS of Pavia, Italy. He was Deputy for the North American Unit at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 2011 to 2013 and the Diplomatic Adviser of the Under Secretary of State for the Presidency of the Council of Ministers in 2010. From 2006 to 2010, he was the First Secretary of Political Affairs and Relations with the United States Congress at the Embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C. From 2002 to 2006, he was the Chief of the Economic and Commercial Office at the Embassy of Italy in Ankara. His international decorations include: Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic; Knight of Magisterial Grace; Order of Malta (Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and Malta – SMOM); and the EUFOR Libya CSDP Service Medal for Planning and Support, awarded by the European Union.
