Vintage fountain pen signature, "M. K. Gandhi, Roma, 12/12/31,” on a light green 5.5 x 6.25 album page. In fine condition, with toning and old tape stains, all easily matted out.
In December 1931, Mahatma Gandhi visited Rome on his way back to India from the Second Round Table Conference in London, where he met with Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. The meeting between the two leaders was a historic and unlikely event, with Mussolini's fascist Italy seeing Gandhi as an international figure of non-violent protest. Gandhi also visited the Vatican, but he was unable to meet Pope Pius XI because he was not in a traditional suit and the Vatican considered his attire improper for a formal audience.
