Maurizio Giuliano 
 In 2004, he was in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest person who has been to all the countries in the world.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 Maurizio Giuliano was born on 24 February 1975 in Milan, Italy, with a lawyer as a father and a housewife as a mother.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 As of 2004, he knew eight languages according to one source, while another source specified that he "spoke" five and had a "passion" for two more.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 He went to school in Milan and Manchester, and then studied at the University of Oxford in 1996 and the University of Cambridge in 1997.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 At Oxford, he studied at University College to know about Oxford's inter-disciplinary course in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE), especially Latin America and eastern Europe.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 He wrote two books and some articles on Cuban politics, especially on the US embargo (which usually stops Americans from doing business with Cubans), which he thinks (in the book "La Transición Cubana y el "Bloqueo" Norteamericano" and other works) is not good.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 In an article published in the British academic journal Democratization in 1998, he focused in particular on how the US embargo against Cuba helps create "empathy" by third parties towards Cuba, so that Cubans think it is support for Cuba's government.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 So he argued that the US Government – in addition to the embargo's direct influence on supporting Cuba's regime – indirectly interferes with the possibility of improving Cuba.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 That is because third countries, foreign non-governmental organizations and prominent individuals lend support to Cuba's resistance to the US embargo, and this offsets external pressures for democracy, thereby allowing the Cuban regime to convert such "empathy" into a source of legitimacy at home.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 His scholarly work on internal Cuban politics, notably on the 1996 purge of Havana's Centre for American Studies (CEA) (contained in the book "El Caso CEA" published in 1998), has been the object of academic reviews, as it exposed the internal conflicts between Cuba's political apparatus and the country's intelligentsia (most intelligent people), previously unknown.

Maurizio Giuliano 
 In 2000, he visited North Korea and published an essay about his visit, essentially describing his tour around the country as being like a movie made by the North Korean authorities.
Maurizio Giuliano

Maurizio Giuliano 
 In 1998, he was denied entry to Myanmar after making contact with the National League for Democracy and taking photos of its leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 And on 30 October 2002, he was reportedly detained and manhandled by Israeli authorities while crossing the Allenby Bridge.

Maurizio Giuliano 
 He started travelling at age 14, and believes that, as of 2004, he had travelled at least two million miles, including on the Trans-Siberian Railway and through 11 round-the-world air journeys.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 Some of his earliest journeys were to Albania and Sierra Leone in 1991, aged 16, and to Mongolia in 1992 for their national festivities Naadam.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 On 20 February 2004 he visited Suriname, thereby completing his visit to all sovereign nations of the world.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 He held a press conference there on 24 February, where he stated that he had chosen Suriname to complete his record, as the country had always fascinated him due to its richness and variety in cultures and ethnicities.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 He then travelled from Suriname to London, with 42 passports (of which 30 were Italian and 12 British) filled with immigration stamps, in order to prove his record to Guinness World Records.
Maurizio Giuliano 
 He claimed that most of his travels were unrelated to the record, and that only since 2001, on the suggestion of friends, did he have the Guinness Record in mind when planning his travels.
