Summary/Abstract: Italy and Hungary are two countries that, although they fought on different sides during the First World War, later found themselves in the group of states dissatisfied with the way peace was organized and the borders of the new Europe were drawn. Despite being adversaries, some contacts were maintained between political leaders in Budapest and Rome during the Great War. These connections intensified after the war conclusion. Several Italian officials, diplomats, and military personnel were in Budapest during the Soviet Republic period and attempted to mediate a dialogue between the new Hungarian government and European chancelleries discussing the organization of peace. This study aims to reconsider the relationship between Italy and Hungary at the end of the First World War, two states that were in an adversarial position but were not true enemies.
