This paper aims at analyzing the Italian diplomacy toward Yemen during Fascism, and the specific role of Jacopo Gasparini. In fact, the Kingdom of Italy was the first country, thanks to the Italo-Yemeni treaty of 1926, to reco- gnize Yemen as a sovereign State, becoming its main political and economic partner. The treaty was the result of the diplomatic work promoted by the governor of Eritrea Jacopo Gasparini (1879-1941), who appears as the ar- chitect of an original “peripheral action” directed towards Yemen which had the objective of making the Eritrean Colony the center of Italy’s economic and political influence in the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa.
