Paul Ruggiero

Paul RuggieroZurich bank employee and friend of JJ. Born in Laufen-Uhwiesen near Zurich, he married Berta Friedli (1903-?) in 1923. Their son Alfred was born in 1924. A member of the "Club des Étrangers" , the informal group of ex-pats whom JJ befriended in Zurich in 1916, he spoke with and sometimes corresponded with JJ in Italian and Greek, which he had learned during several years' residence in Greece. He helped the Joyce family to find a flat in 1917. When JJ sang an accompaniment for the English Players' production of Robert Browning's In a Balcony, Ruggiero accompanied him on a guitar (which he later maintained that JJ had given him, and which in 1966 Ruggiero donated to the Joyce Tower Museum in Sandycove). The two corresponded occasionally while JJ lived in Paris, and their friendship proved to be critically important during the last months of 1940, when Ruggiero was, with Carola Giedion-Welcker, a key figure in enabling the Joyce family to enter Switzerland during the German occupation of France.

保罗·鲁杰罗（Paul Ruggiero）是苏黎世银行职员，亦是JJ的友人。他出生于苏黎世附近的劳芬-乌维森，1923年与贝尔塔·弗里德利（Berta Friedli，1903-?）成婚，其子阿尔弗雷德于1924年降生。作为“外国人俱乐部”（Club des Étrangers）的成员——该团体是JJ于1916年在苏黎世结交的外籍人士非正式组织——他与JJ交流时偶尔使用意大利语和希腊语，这两种语言是他在希腊居住数年期间习得的。1917年，他曾协助乔伊斯一家寻觅公寓。当JJ为英国剧团（English Players）排演的罗伯特·勃朗宁（Robert Browning）作品《在阳台上》（In a Balcony）演唱伴奏时，鲁杰罗以吉他为其伴奏（他后来坚称这把吉他为JJ所赠，并于1966年将其捐赠给桑迪科夫的乔伊斯塔博物馆）。JJ旅居巴黎期间，两人时有通信；而在1940年的最后数月，他们的友谊更显关键——彼时鲁杰罗与卡罗拉·吉迪恩-韦尔克（Carola Giedion-Welcker）携手，成为助力乔伊斯一家在德国占领法国期间进入瑞士的核心人物。威廉·布罗克曼（William Brockman）
