His Majesty Vittorio Emanuele III. King of Italy, after opening an art exhibition at Forli, last week visited the graves of the late village blacksmith and his wife: Alessandro & Rosa Maltoni Mussolini at nearby Predappio. Then His Majesty inspected the humble stone house in which their son Benito was born. After that he traveled to Rocca delle Caminate. Il Duce's country home. At the entrance Il Duce greeted his royal lord & master, talked with King Vittorio Emanuele alone for half an hour. It was the first time that any sovereign of the House of Savoy had honored a mere commoner with a visit.

Also significant of the greatly improved relations between Italy's Dictator and the Royal Family was the recently unveiled bas-relief in the Roman Senate courtyard. There, in unlifelike sculpture, the small 5 ft. 3 in. King is made to tower over the actually much taller, 5 ft. 7 in. Dictator.
