Regno d'ItaliaAs the sun rises on the year of eighteen sixty-two, the people of Italia stand tall and proud as our glorious Kingdom enters its second year of a nearly unified existence. As we continue to work together to reconcile our past differences that were imposed upon us as we stood divided, the divide is slowly but surely fading away into nothingness. Not only has this united Italy aided in bringing us all together, but it has allowed the spread of institutions of health and wellness to those who would otherwise not have access to even the simplest form of care. Although this Kingdom may have been born through conflict, it is not the path that we as a people will seek as the way forward as such conflict will only bring further despair to the Italian people.
At the recent Conference in Constantinople various representatives from other European powers have ratified the peaceful transfer of Italian lands under the current administration of the Austrian Empire, a deal which had been previously struck in privacy between Italian and Austrian diplomats. While we both support and praise the efforts made at the Conference and culminated in the Treaty of Constantinople, there is a great deal of concern for not only various parts of this treaty, but with the blatant disregard of other European nations. The Kingdom of Italy was ignored in our efforts to gain entry to the Conference, despite the nature of the topics discussed. If the matters of the European continent are to be discusses, should the entirety of Europe not be invited to such talks? Not only has the recent Conference of Constantinople raised further concerns for stability in not only Europe, but the world as a whole.
In order to properly and efficiently deal with the further instability wrought in the wake of the Treaty of Constantinople, it is the desire of the Kingdom of Italy that we all seek a solution together to prevent both economic and international disaster.
It is for this reasoning that the Kingdom of Italy must now call for a renewed Conference at Turin so that all nations of Europe may come together to discuss not only the instability at hand, but voice their own concerns so that we may find an amicable solution for all nations involved. As all are invited to join us in Turin, they need simply state their intention to attend and the proper arrangements shall be made.- Prime Minister Bettino Ricasoli, 1st Baron Ricasoli, 1st Count of Brolio
