Il patto Mussolini (lit. '"The Mussolini Pact"'), in full: Il patto Mussolini: storia di un piano politico e di un negoziato diplomatico,[1] is a history book by Italian author and historian Francesco Salata, first published in 1933.[2] The book is a "history and analysis of the Four Power Pact, with all the documents,"[2] and an "eulogy when praising Mussolini's accomplishments as a diplomat."[3] Apart from the "too much dithyrambic tone," Salata's work is considered fundamental and a "very valuable exegesis."[4]

Overview[]

The book was published by Mondadori in 1933, one year after the success of Oberdan, the reduced version of Salata's Guglielmo Oberdan secondo gli atti segreti del processo: carteggi diplomatici e altri documenti inediti, originally published by Zanichelli in 1924.[1]

Il patto Mussolini, sometimes credited as Salata's greatest commercial success,[5] is an analysis and history of the Four Power Pact, a non-belligerence treaty that was signed in June 1933 in the Palazzo Venezia in Rome by France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy.[1] In the book, "Salata, an expert of history studies, as part of a book of diplomatic review," highly praises Mussolini and his accomplishments as a diplomat.[6][3]

Notwithstanding the perhaps excessive celebration of Mussolini, the work is considered fundamental, and an important exegesis.[4]
