Little is known about Aldo Coradello, an Italian diplomat of the wartime period. Aldo Coradello was delegated to Gdansk in 1937 and, after the death of the consul, temporarily took over his duties, which he did until 1943. Coradello helped his Polish friends and acquaintances by issuing them with documents that enabled them to leave the country safely. He also took out letters, as he wanted to facilitate the exchange of correspondence between people who were no longer in Poland. Such deliberate misleading of the Germans and his overt anti-German stance brought him to the attention of the Gestapo. Coradello's superiors decided to transfer the regent to Saarbrucken as an educational measure. There, too, Coradello did not escape trouble. He and his wife were briefly arrested. This was done in order to teach him a lesson to stop showing resentment towards the German authorities. In spite of this, his political views did not change, which did not please many of Aldo's colleagues who, according to the Italian, collaborated with the Germans. For this reason, he was arrested again. After a gruelling stay in isolation, where he was subjected to torture, he was taken to Stutthof concentration camp on 12 June 1944. The only trace in Polish that remains of him is a small book concerning his testimony from his stay in this concentration camp, entitled "What happened in Stutthof". In Italian documents, Coradello's name only appears in a report made available by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1975, Testi e documenti sulla politica esterna dell'Italia. The Italian appears there in the list of persons who actually represented the Italian government outside the country. In the National Archives in Rome, the entry 'Coradello' does not appear at all, nor does the official website of the Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo. Currently, the traces of the diplomat are being studied by dr Anna Szwarc-Zając, a researcher working on genealogical issues, in particular lag literature, together with its Italian and Polish autobiographical contexts. In 2016, the researcher opened the Cultural Centre ('Centro Socio-Culturale Polifunzionale di Casella') in the Italian city of Casella (Genoa). Since April 2021, she has been on the board of the research institute Istituto di studi storici Gaetano Salvemini in Turin. In 2014, she translated into Italian and coordinated the exhibition 'La grande retata. Settembre 1942", which has been exhibited several times in Italian museums. She has published in Polish journals: "Literaturoznawstwo", "Zagłada Żydów. Studia i Materiały "Pokłosie" and Italian: "QOL", "Instituto Lingue per la storia della Resistenza e dell'eta contemporanea", "Storia e Memoria". She won 3rd place in 2021 in the "Pole of the Year in Italy and the World" competition in the category: "Scientific activity". She is also editor of the Italian journal "Freeebrei".
