Today the Vice President of the Constitutional Court, Marta Cartabia, and the Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Elisabetta Belloni, commemorated the employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of the Ministry of the Colonies who lost their lives during the First World War. In the entrance hall of the Palazzo della Consulta, which at the time was the seat of the Ministries, two laurel wreaths were placed at the tombstones that remind us of the sacrifice made by those diplomats and employees for their homeland.
