The employee, who had the risk of losing his left hand, was rushed to a hospital.
Shortly afterwards, a bomb exploded at the Chilean embassy, injuring another person.
An embassy employee, who opened a package, was wounded by the explosion, but the injury was not life-threatening.
Police have arrived at the embassies to make investigations.
Meanwhile, a suspect package was founded at the Ukrainian embassy in Rome, according to ANSA.
But Rome's police chief Francesco Tagliente soon said the package turned out to be a false alarm.
