 note = {The Italo-Japanese treaty of Amity and Commerce was signed
in August 1866. This treaty was signed just one year and a few
months before the Meiji Restoration in Japan, and right after the
Third Independency War which Italy fought in order to regain
Venezia and its neighboring territories. If we consider these
historical events, we can say that the sign of the treaty was almost
a miracle.
One year later, the Italian government sent a Minister （Count
Vittorio Sallier De La Tour） and a Consul （Mr. Cristoforo Robecchi）
to Japan; their arrival offi cially started diplomatic relations between
the two countries.
With this paper I would like to discuss the position and role of
the first Italian Minister in Japan right before the Meiji Restoration.
In order to achieve this goal I will analyze some primary sources
（i.e. offi cial dispatches） found in Rome, at the Historical-Diplomatic
Archive of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Aff airs, and focus mainly
on the following points:
1） For which reasons Italy needed a Treaty of Amity and Commerce
with Japan?
2） What kind of instructions did the Italian Minister in Japan obtain
from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Aff airs?
3） What kind of relations the Italian Minister had with his French 
counterpart Leon Roches?
4） How did the Italian Minister in Japan understand the fall of the
Bakufu and the rise of the new Imperial Government?
By answering those questions I aim to unveil some unknown
aspects and underline the historical value of the Italo-Japanese
relations at the dawn of the Meiji Restoration.},
