Life

Giovanni Miccoli studied in Pisa , Munich and London and taught church history in Pisa from 1962 to 1967 . Since 1968 he has taught in Trieste. From 1985 to 1987 he taught church history at the University of Venice , and since 1987 again in Trieste. He was a board member of the Società internazionale di studi francescani founded in 1902 by Paul Sabatier . In 2007 he was elected a member of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti .

His first book was a treatise on Petrus Igneus, Bishop of Albano . His book I dilemmi ei silenzi di Pio XII. has already appeared in the second edition in Italy, but has not yet been translated into German. A French translation was published in 2005. According to the Paderborn historian Rainer Decker , it is proof that “the politics of Pius XII can be pursued on a high intellectual level, but without black and white drawings. can present critically ”. The Münster church historian Hubert Wolf thinks that the book contains "the best summary of the knowledge of the Roman Curia about the Shoah". The Potsdam historian Thomas Brechenmacher praised Miccoli's book as arguing “very detailed and balanced”. Martin Rhonheimer judged that the book was, in his opinion, the "most balanced and best-documented study" of the relationship between Pius XII. about the Holocaust. "Unfortunately, it has not yet been translated into German."
