This decimal file contains records of the United States Department of State relating to the internal affairs of Italy from 1910 to 1929. Most of the records are dispatches from United States diplomatic and consular officials in Italy. The records on political affairs include regular reports on the political and economic situation in Italy, intelligence reports on politics and military affairs, transcripts of speeches, and clippings from Italian and other foreign newspapers. The documents cover the period of political chaos from 1910 to 1922 including World War I and the rise of Fascism. Dispatches for October 1922 deal with the Fascist march on Rome and the request by King Victor Emanuel to Mussolini to form a government. The records document the implementation of Mussolini's dictatorship and the establishment of the Italian corporate state. References are made to the Italian occupation of Corfu in 1923 and the subsequent military take over of Fiume which was opposed by Yugoslavia. The Matteotti affair is also dealt with as is the Aventine secession. The reports on military affairs include details on troop dispositions, military activities of Italy in Albania, and the National Militia which was derived from the Fascist Blackshirts. There is also information on exchanges of United States and Italian military personnel and visits of Italian warships to United States ports.

A complete list of the documents in this collection is filmed on reels 1-3. The documents are arranged by subject according to the Department of State's decimal classification system.
