Inscribed by author, former Italian ambassador to Washington, this is a lecture that he was invited to give in late 1903 at several Chambers of Commerce of the Kingdom to demonstrate the advantage that Italian arts and industries would receive by participating in the World's Fair at St. Louis that opened in April, 1904.

The reason is that the initial invitation for Italy to have an exhibit at the St. Louis Fair was met with indifference at first by the Italian public, as well as by official industries. But, Mayor des Planches says, there are now so many Italians in the U.S., that our co-nationals there say it's imperative that we show the marvels of Italian arts and culture, especially when American antipathy toward the ever increasing numbers of Italian immigrants is on the rise.
