[center]Regno d'Italia[/center]

While relations between the Kingdom of Italy and Austrian Empire have rarely been amicable, we wish to extend our thanks to the Emperor not only for supporting Italian participation in the Constantinople Conference, but for continuing to work together with our Kingdom through diplomacy rather than war. As the Kingdom of Italy has great interest in seeing both peace and stability maintained throughout the entirety of Europe, [b]it is our wish that the Sultan accept our request to attend the Conference[/b]. In that very same interest, we ask that both the United Kingdom and French Empire cease their hostility towards the United States at the very least until the end of the Conference. It is apparent that their current mobilization and hostility is threatening to start a conflict not seen since the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

Furthermore, it must be stated that it is not the desire of the Kingdom of Italy to echo the reckless actions that seem to be overtaking our neighbors in rampantly mobilizing over a war that Europe shouldn't be concerned with. We wish not to join the countless nations in their efforts to mobilize against the very real possibility of war on the European continent, but if this current course continues it will no longer be possible. However, in interest of maintaining the continued security of this Italian state, should the Austrian or French Empires begin mobilizing on our common borders, we will respond in kind.

- King Vittorio Emanuele Maria Alberto Eugenio Ferdinando Tommaso of Italy
