Mussolini's foreign minister and son-in-law Galeazzo Ciano persuaded Mussolini not to make this statement.

As the Italian Foreign Minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano, noted in his diary in late 1937, Ribbentrop had come to hate Britain with all the " fury of a woman scorned ".

Papen ’ s attempt to address Turkish fears of Italian expansionism by getting Ribbentrop to have Count Galeazzo Ciano promise the Turks that they had nothing to fear from Italy backfired when the Turks found the Italo-German effort to be both patronizing and insulting.

Along the same lines, Ribbentrop told the Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano on 5 May 1939 " It is certain that within a few months not one Frenchman nor a single Englishman will go to war for Poland ".

On 11 August 1939, Ribbentrop met the Italian Foreign Minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano, and the Italian Ambassador to Germany, Count Bernardo Attolico, in Salzburg.

In December 1942, during a meeting with the Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano, who brought a message from Mussolini asking for the Germans to go on the defensive in the Soviet Union in order to focus on North Africa, Ribbentrop joined with Hitler in belittling Italy's war effort.

After the assassination in 1398 of Biordo Michelotti, who had made himself lord of Perugia, the city became a pawn in the Italian Wars, passing to Gian Galeazzo Visconti ( 1400 ), to Pope Boniface IX ( 1403 ), and to Ladislaus of Naples ( 1408 – 14 ) before it settled into a period of sound governance under the Signoria of the condottiero Braccio da Montone ( 1416 – 24 ), who reached a concordance with the Papacy.
