Biography and career
Stuparich was born and raised in the capital Santiago. An alumni at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and the University of Chile, he worked as a philosophy teacher at Santiago University of Technology (now Usach) before the 1973 military coup. At the same time, he was active in the Socialist Party and was therefore forced to put himself in safety at Italy's embassy when the military took over."Roberto Kozak con refugiados en la embajada de Italia"Camacho Padilla, Jorge. "Los asilados de las Embajadas de Europa Occidental en Chile tras el golpe militar y sus consecuencias diplomáticas", European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies 81, October 2006. In the meantime, he wrote the novel Chile: Comprometerse con una clase, which was published later in exile.
After 1973, Stuparich was exiled in Italy,"Bachelet recuerda en Roma a chilenos exiliados en Italia durante la dictadura", La Vanguardia where he continued to teach and obtained a PhD qualification, Dottore in Filosofia from the University of Turin. Stuparich had three children with Teresa De La Barra: Ivo, Andro and Tamara.
