'''Vincenzo Di Meglio''' ([[April]] [[1903]], [[Ischia]], [[Italy]] - [[1987]], Italy) was an Italian [[doctor]] and politician, who moved to live to the Italian eastern Africa in the 1930s, where he actively defended the Italian colonialists for an Italy-dependent [[Eritrea]] nation, particularly against the [[United Kingdom|British]] regional rule. Such commitment extended along the [[World War II]] years until the [[1960s]], including important personal interventions in the [[United Nations]].

==Early life==
Di Meglio was borne at Ischia island, Italy, in 1903. After an early involvement in local politics, he precociously assumed as the mayor of his own hometown in his twenties. Also, he completed the career of Medicine.

==Eritrea==
In 1935, Di Meglio moved to the eastern Italian colonies of Africa, initially attending the local poor. In 1939, he was convoked for the charge of Vice-Director of Gynecology at the "Regina Elena" hospital of [[Asmara]], by the Eritrean governor, Giuseppe Daodiace,

===For Eritrea===
During the war, Di Meglio was an active public figure, for the Eritrean independence in behalf of his fellow Italian colonists. Then, in 1945 he became the director of the ''Commitato Rappresentativo Italiani dell' Eritrea'' (CRIE, Committee of Italian representatives in Eritrea), which particularly opposed the British rule, and he also was close to the local figures who claimed for independence, Woldeab Woldemariam and Abdel Kader Kebir amongst others. Hence, Di Meglio then became the target for some assassination attacks from the Scifta faction, but he managed surviving those.

Particularly, since 1945 Britain had attempted, so the Eritrean territory was divided between [[Sudan]] and [[Ethiopia]]. In 1947, Di Meglio moved to the [[United Nations]], personally convincing the representatives of other nations, which were particularly of [[Latin America]], so the final voting of the UN on the matter was against the British plans, and for the integrity of Eritrea.

Also in 1947, Di Meglio participated in the foundation of two organizations for congregating the Italian colonists, the ''Associazione Italo-Eritrei'' and the ''Associazione Veterani Ascari''. This directly ensued, with Di Meglio's important role, in the creation of the ''Partito Eritrea Pro Italia'', in September 1947 with 200,000 members.

The downturn would happen in 1950, when by decision of the United Nations Eritrea finally was annexed as a province, into [[Ethiopia]]; Di Meglio fruitlessly was again there in New york, in representation of the groups for the national independence.
