He joined the Letters course of the Faculty of Philosophy, Languages and Human Sciences (FFLCH) of the University of São Paulo (USP), where he graduated in 1976.[3] Danese then moved to México, where he got a post-graduation in Latin Letters at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).[4]

Diplomacy

Danese joined the diplomatic career in 1981, becoming student of Rio Branco Institute (IRBr).[4] From 1985 to 1987, he had served as special advisor of the Presidency of the Republic during José Sarney administration.[4] Between 1990 and 1992, Danese worked with the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Mexico.[5] In 1993, he became advisor to Rubens Ricupero, while he had served as Ministry of Environment during the presidency of Itamar Franco.[5] Ricupero was Danese's teacher during his studies at IRBr.[5]

With a long diplomatic career, Danese had served as the Brazilian ambassador to Algeria, Argentina and South Africa.[5] [6] In 2021, he was nominated as ambassador to Peru, where he headed the diplomatic mission until 2023.[7] After the election of Lula da Silva, the Brazilian president nominated him to represent Brazil in the United Nations.[8] Danese replaced Ronaldo Costa Filho, nominated by former president Jair Bolsonaro.[9] [10]

During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, he gained international notoriety.[11] [12] On the verge of a conflict, Brazil presided the United Nations Security Council.[13] The country proposed a ceasefire for humanitarian aid in Gaza and a humanitarian corridor for Palestinian civilians to Egypt.[11] Besides Brazilian efforts, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, vetoed the resolution.[14] The Brazilian proposal got 12 favorable votes, 2 abstentions – Russia and the United Kingdom – and the American veto, blocking a ceasefire and the arrival of humanitarian aid.[15] [16]
