{{Politics of Italy}}

The '''foreign relations of the Italian Republic''' are the Italian government's external relations with the outside world. Located in [[Europe]], [[Italy]] has been considered a major European [[Great power|power]]  since its [[Unification of Italy|unification in 1860]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ladocumentationfrancaise.fr/catalogue/3303331600596/index.shtml|title=L'Italie : un destin européen|first=La Documentation|last=française|website=www.ladocumentationfrancaise.fr|access-date=2014-10-25|archive-date=2013-05-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509163336/http://www.ladocumentationfrancaise.fr/catalogue/3303331600596/index.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> Its main allies are the [[NATO]] countries and the [[EU]] states, two entities of which Italy is a founding member. Italy was admitted to the [[United Nations]] in 1955, and it is a member and a strong supporter of a wide number of international organisations, such as the [[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development]] (OECD), the [[General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade]] and [[World Trade Organization]] (GATT and WTO), the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]] (OSCE), the [[Council of Europe]], and the [[Central European Initiative]].

Its turns in the rotating presidency of international organisations include the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]], the [[G7]] and the [[Presidency of the Council of the European Union|EU Council]]. Italy is also a recurrent [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member]] of the [[UN Security Council]]. Italy is an important actor in the [[Mediterranean region]] and has close relations with the [[Romance languages|Romance-speaking countries]] in Europe and [[Latin America]]. Although it is a [[secular state]],<ref name=":0">Articles 3, 7, 8, 19, 20 of the [[Constitution of Italy]]; Constitutional Court's Decision n. 203/1989</ref> Rome hosts the [[Pope]] and the headquarters of the [[Catholic Church]], which operates a large diplomatic system of its own.

===National unification===

[[File:Italian-unification.gif|thumb|upright=1.5|Animated map of the [[Italian unification]] from 1829 to 1871]]
[[File:Ernesto Teodoro Moneta.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Ernesto Teodoro Moneta]] was awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] in 1907 for an understanding [[France–Italy relations|between France and Italy]]. He adopted the motto ''In varietate unitas!'' which later inspired [[Motto of the European Union]].]]

The ''[[Risorgimento]]'' was the era from 1829 to 1871 that saw the emergence of a national consciousness. The Northern Italy monarchy of the [[House of Savoy]] in the [[Kingdom of Sardinia (1720–1861)|Kingdom of Sardinia]], whose government was led by [[Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour]], had ambitions of establishing a united Italian state. In the context of the [[revolutions of 1848|1848 liberal revolutions]] that swept through Europe, an unsuccessful [[First Italian War of Independence|first war of independence]] was declared on [[Austria-Hungary|Austria]]. In 1855, the Kingdom of Sardinia became an ally of Britain and France in the [[Crimean War]], giving Cavour's diplomacy legitimacy in the eyes of the great powers.<ref name=":1">Enrico Dal Lago, "Lincoln, Cavour, and National Unification: American Republicanism and Italian Liberal Nationalism in Comparative Perspective."

After the Third Italian War of Independence (1866), when the [[Veneto]] and [[Friuli]] regions were ceded by the [[Austrian Empire|Austrians]] to the newly formed [[Kingdom of Italy (1861–1946)|Kingdom Italy]], Istria and Dalmatia remained part of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]], together with other Italian-speaking areas on the eastern Adriatic. This triggered the gradual rise of [[Italian irredentism]] among many Italians in Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia, who demanded the unification of the [[Julian March]], [[Kvarner Gulf|Kvarner]] and [[Dalmatia]] with Italy. The Italians in Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia supported the Italian [[Italian unification|Risorgimento]]: as a consequence, the Austrians saw the Italians as enemies and favored the Slav communities of Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia.<ref name="ReferenceB" /> During the meeting of the Council of Ministers of 12 November 1866, Emperor [[Franz Joseph I of Austria]] outlined a wide-ranging project aimed at the [[Germanization]] or [[Slavization]] of the areas of the empire with an Italian presence:<ref>''Die Protokolle des Österreichischen Ministerrates 1848/1867.

Finally, in 1870, as France abandoned its garrisons in Rome during the disastrous [[Franco-Prussian War]] to keep the large Prussian Army at bay, the Italians rushed to fill the power gap by [[Capture of Rome|taking over the Papal States]]. Italian unification was completed and shortly afterwards Italy's capital was moved to Rome. Later Italy formed the [[Triple Alliance (1882)]] with Germany and Austria.

Dalmatia, after the WWI, however, was not assigned to Italy but to [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]].]]

Even after 1870, after the [[unification of Italy]], many ethnic Italian-speakers (Italians in [[Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol]], [[Savoyard Italians]], [[Corfiot Italians]], [[Niçard Italians]], [[Swiss Italians]], [[Corsican Italians]], [[Maltese Italians]], [[Istrian Italians]], and [[Dalmatian Italians]]) remained outside the borders of the [[Kingdom of Italy]], planting the seeds of [[Italian irredentism]].

In a deal to bring Italy into the war, under the [[London Pact]], Italy would be allowed to annex not only Italian-speaking [[Trentino]] and Trieste, but also German-speaking [[South Tyrol]], Istria (which included large non-Italian communities), and the northern part of Dalmatia including the areas of [[Zadar]] (Zara) and [[Šibenik]] (Sebenico).

In November 1918, after the surrender of Austria-Hungary, Italy occupied militarily [[Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol|Trentino Alto-Adige]], the [[Julian March]], [[Istria]], the [[Kvarner Gulf]] and [[Dalmatia]], all Austro-Hungarian territories. On the Dalmatian coast, Italy established the first [[Governorate of Dalmatia#The first Governorate of Dalmatia|Governorate of Dalmatia]], which had the provisional aim of ferrying the territory towards full integration into the Kingdom of Italy, progressively importing national legislation in place of the previous one. The administrative capital was [[Zadar|Zara]]. The Governorate of Dalmatia was evacuated following the Italo-Yugoslav agreements which resulted in the [[Treaty of Rapallo (1920)|Treaty of Rapallo]] (1920). After the war, the [[Treaty of Rapallo, 1920|Treaty of Rapallo]] between the [[Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes]] (later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia) and the Kingdom of Italy (12 November 1920), Italy annexed [[Zadar]] in Dalmatia and some minor islands, almost all of Istria along with Trieste, excluding the island of [[Krk]], and part of [[Kastav]] commune, which mostly went to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. By the [[Treaty of Rome, 1924|Treaty of Rome]] (27 January 1924), the [[Free State of Fiume]] (Rijeka) was divided between Italy and Yugoslavia.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gazzettatoscana.it/web/lo-stato-libero-di-fiumeun-convegno-ne-rievoca-la-vicenda/|title=Lo Stato libero di Fiume:un convegno ne rievoca la vicenda|date=15 November 2020|access-date=10 May 2021|language=it}}</ref> Also, Italy occupied southern [[Albania]] and established [[Italian Protectorate on southern Albania|a protectorate over Albania]], which remained in place until 1920.<ref name="Nigel Thomas 2001.

The Allies defeated the Austrian Empire in 1918 and Italy became one of the [[Big Four (World War I)|main winners]] of the war. At the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, Prime Minister [[Vittorio Emanuele Orlando]] focused almost exclusively on territorial gains, but he got far less than he wanted, and Italians were bitterly resentful when they were denied control of the city of [[Fiume]]. The conference, under the control of Britain, France and the United States refused to assign [[Dalmatia]] and Albania to Italy as had been promised in the Treaty of London. Britain, France and Japan divided the German overseas colonies into mandates of their own, excluding Italy. Italy also gained no territory from the breakup of the [[Ottoman Empire]].

Italy did not receive other territories promised by the Treaty of London, so this outcome was denounced as a ''[[Mutilated victory]]''. The rhetoric of ''Mutilated victory'' was adopted by [[Benito Mussolini]] and led to the [[Fascist Italy (1922–1943)|rise of]] [[Italian fascism]], becoming a key point in the [[propaganda of Fascist Italy]]. Historians regard ''Mutilated victory'' as a "political myth", used by fascists to fuel [[Italian imperialism]] and obscure the successes of [[liberal Italy]] in the aftermath of World War I.<ref>G.Sabbatucci, ''La vittoria mutilata'', in AA.VV., ''Miti e storia dell'Italia unita'', Il Mulino, Bologna 1999, pp.101–106</ref> Italy also gained a permanent seat in the [[League of Nations]]'s executive council.

The [[National Fascist Party|Fascist]] government that came to power with [[Benito Mussolini]] in 1922 sought to increase the size of the Italian empire and to satisfy the claims of [[Italian irredentists]]. Italian Fascism is based upon [[Italian nationalism]] and imperialism, and in particular seeks to complete what it considers as the incomplete project of the [[unification of Italy]] by incorporating ''[[Italian irredentism|Italia Irredenta]]'' (unredeemed Italy) into the state of Italy.<ref name="autogenerated1922">Aristotle A.

In [[Propaganda in Fascist Italy|propaganda]], Fascists used the ancient Roman motto "''[[Mare Nostrum]]''" ([[Latin]] for "Our Sea") to describe the Mediterranean. For this reason the Fascist regime engaged in [[interventionism (politics)|interventionist foreign policy]]. In 1923, the Greek island of [[Corfiot Italians#Corfiot Italians and the Risorgimento|Corfu]] was [[Corfu incident|briefly occupied by Italy]], after the assassination of [[Enrico Tellini|General Tellini]] in Greek territory. In 1925, Italy [[Second Treaty of Tirana|forced Albania]] to become a ''[[de facto]]'' [[protectorate]]. In 1935, Mussolini [[Second Italo-Abyssinian War|invaded Ethiopia]] and founded [[Italian East Africa]], resulting in an international alienation and leading to Italy's withdrawal from the [[League of Nations]]; Italy [[Pact of Steel|allied with Nazi Germany]] and the [[Tripartite Pact|Empire of Japan]] and strongly supported [[Francisco Franco]] in the [[Spanish Civil War]]. In 1939, Italy [[Italian invasion of Albania|formally annexed Albania]]. Italy entered World War II on 10 June 1940. The Italians initially advanced in [[Italian conquest of British Somaliland|British Somaliland]], [[Italian invasion of Egypt|Egypt]], the [[Balkan Campaign (World War II)|Balkans]] (establishing the [[Governorate of Dalmatia]] and [[Italian governorate of Montenegro|Montenegro]], the [[Province of Ljubljana]], and the puppet states [[Independent State of Croatia]] and [[Hellenic State (1941–1944)|Hellenic State]]), and eastern fronts. They were, however, subsequently defeated on the [[Italian participation on the Eastern Front|Eastern Front]] as well as in the [[East African campaign (World War II)|East African campaign]] and the [[North African campaign]], losing as a result their territories in Africa and in the Balkans.

An [[Allied invasion of Sicily]] began in July 1943, leading to the [[Fall of the Fascist regime in Italy|collapse of the Fascist regime and the fall of Mussolini]] on 25 July. In the north, the Germans set up the [[Italian Social Republic]] (RSI), a Nazi [[puppet state]] with Mussolini installed as leader after he was [[Gran Sasso raid|rescued]] by German paratroopers. Some Italian troops in the south were organised into the [[Italian Co-belligerent Army]], which fought alongside the Allies for the rest of the war, while other Italian troops, loyal to Mussolini and his RSI, continued to fight alongside the Germans in the [[National Republican Army]].

Italy also lost all of its colonial possessions, formally ending the [[Italian Empire]]. In 1950, [[Italian Somaliland]] was made a [[Trust Territory of Somaliland|United Nations Trust Territory]] under Italian administration until 1 July 1960. The Italian border that applies today has existed since 1975, when [[Trieste]] was formally re-annexed to Italy.

In 1949 Italy became a member of [[NATO]]. The [[Marshall Plan]] helped to revive the Italian economy which, until the late 1960s, enjoyed a period of sustained economic growth commonly called the "[[Italian economic miracle|Economic Miracle]]". In the 1950s, Italy became one of the six founding countries of the [[European Communities]], following the 1952 establishment of the [[European Coal and Steel Community]], and subsequent 1958 creations of the [[European Economic Community]] and [[European Atomic Energy Community]]. In 1993, the former two of these were incorporated into the [[European Union]].

Due to the size of the [[Vatican City]] State, embassies accredited to the Holy See are based on Italian territory. Treaties signed between [[Italy]] and the Vatican City State permit such embassages. The Embassy of Italy to the Holy See is unique amongst foreign embassages in that it is the only embassy based on its home territory.

The Holy See maintains formal diplomatic relations with 176 sovereign states, the [[European Union]], and the [[Order of Malta]]; 69 of the diplomatic missions accredited to the Holy See are situated in [[Rome]], though those countries than have two embassies in the same city, since, by agreement between the Holy See and Italy, the same person cannot be accredited simultaneously to both. This is shown clearly by the fact that Italy recognizes the [[People's Republic of China]], and as such, the Chinese Embassy is in Rome.  However, the Vatican City State recognizes the [[Taiwan]], and as such, Taiwan's embassy to the Holy See is also in Rome. As Italy was the first country to recognize the Holy See as a sovereign nation, their embassy was the first one established.

Finally, for a long time Italy had the largest communist party in the Western world, with over 2 million members.
