High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Roberto Weiss (21 January 1906 10 August 1969) was an Italian-British scholar and historian, specialist in Italian-English cultural contacts during the period of Renaissance period and Renaissance humanism.Born in Milan to a family which originated in the Czech Republic, Weiss began his studies in Italy but moved to England as a young man in 1926 on the advice of his father, Eugenio Weiss, in order to continue his education and prepare for a career in the diplomatic service by studying law. He stayed in England, however, due to his dislike for the fascist regime of Mussolini and the "insufferably hot" Italian climate. While at Oxford he won the Charles Oldham prize and became close friends with the elder son of John Buchan, Lord Tweedsmuir, who later acted as his mentor. Roberto was a frequent guest at the Buchan home at Elsfield Manor, where he met T.E. Lawrence and the Mitford family girls.
