==Biography==
As nuncio to Paraguay, Cortesi arranged a prisoner exchange between [[Paraguay]] and [[Bolivia]] during the [[Chaco War]] in 1934.<ref>''New York Times''. 1934, February 7. "To Aid Wounded Exchange". p. 11.</ref> As nuncio in [[Buenos Aires]], Cortesi presented the [[Supreme Order of Christ]], the highest papal order, to Argentine President [[Agustín Pedro Justo]] on behalf of [[Pope Pius XII]] later that year.<ref>''New York Times''. 1934, December 14. "Pope Honors Argentine Chief". p. 16.</ref>
On
Cortesi submitted Pius XII's mediation plan to Foreign Minister [[Józef Beck]], but received "an evasive answer because the Poles do not favor mediation as a means of solving the Danzig problem".<ref>Jerzy Szapiro. 1939, May 10. "Poland Skeptical of Mediation Plan". ''New York Times''. p. 17.</ref> Cortesi arrived in Rome on June 22 with noncommital replies from all five countries involved in the mediation, and met with Maglione over the mediation and also the rift between Polish and German Catholics.<ref>Camille M. Cianfarra. 1939, June 22. "Poland Answers Pope's Peace Plea". ''New York Times''. p. 12.</ref> On June 26, Cortesi met with Pius XII personally to convey the negative reactions of President [[Ignacy Mościcki]] and Foreign Minister Beck to Pius XII's proposal to transfer Danzig to Germany.<ref>''New York Times''. 1939, June 27. "Nuncio to Warsaw is Received by Pope". p. 12.</ref> Cortesi's relaying of Pius XII's proposal to give Danzig to Germany was long remembered in Poland, particularly when the Communist government came into conflict with the pope after the war.<ref>Edward A. Morrow. 1949, September 7. "Poland's Press Replies to Pope". ''New York Times''. p. 11.</ref>
