The Italian Revolution was fought first of all to obtain the liberty and unity of the nation and then with that achieved to join the freest and most advanced nations in inaugurating a new era of peace justice and joint cooperation in the work of civilization
So far only the first goal has been attained Victor Emmanuel II, who was king of tiny Piedmont made his contribution by assuming the crown of Italy in Rome
It remains now to realize the second ideal
If King Victor Emmanuel III (who deserves recognition from civilization for founding the International Institute of Agriculture52 which will certainly yield benefits useful to all in the future world economy) will lend his support to the fulfillment of the Italian Revolution with respect to Italy's place in the world, he will gain added renown for himself and his subjects and at the same time strengthen the bond of affection between himself and his people
