Ugo Giachery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ugo Giachery (1896–1989) was a prominent Italian Bahá'í from an aristocratic family from Palermo. After World War I he moved to the United States, where he became a Bahá'í around 1926. In 1947 his family moved back to Rome in Italy. He translated many Bahá'í books into Italian. From 1948 he started taking care of the marble supplies from Italy for the superstructure of the Shrine of the Báb and the International Archives Building.
He was appointed a Hand of the Cause by Shoghi Effendi in December 1951, who also appointed him as a member-at-large of the International Bahá'í Council, and who named one of the doors of the Shrine of the Báb after him.
