"What does this meeting mean? What language does it speak to you and all Italians? It means an appeal for concord, addressed to all those who bore arms for their country. It speaks the language of peace to all Italians who suffered in the long war. We must again find the luminary symbol of love and make it the lodestar of our destiny. We must always remember the sacrifices we all sustained, not forgetting for a single moment the brotherhood of blood which united all soldiers in the trenches. To disarm among men of the same blood means to arm against an external enemy. Go you and bear your brothers the memory of this visit as the best omen of peace and prosperity."
After this, the great pair embraced, kissed in full view of the cheering warriors. Next day, the Premier left for Rome. The Italian public was no wiser.
