Early Life and Education
Treves' father was killed during the Second World War in 1944 and his mother remarried, hence the family relocated to Swiss Cottage in London. He won a scholarship to the independent St Paul's School in London before attending the University of Oxford to study jurisprudence. Treves later completed a Fulbright scholarship in the USA at the University of Illinois. He relinquished his dual Italian-British nationality at the age of 36 when he realised that it made him eligible for national service in the Italian Army.
