Provenance: Ex-libris Cesare Maria De Vecchi, conte di Val Cismon, engraved by Bramanti at recto of front cover. Cesare Maria De Vecchi, 1st Conte di Val Cismon (1884-1959) was an Italian soldier, colonial administrator and Fascist politician. After graduating in jurisprudence he became a successful lawyer in Turin. His stance on the First World War was interventionist, and he himself took part in the final events of the conflict. On his return to Italy he gave his support to the National Fascist Party, in which he would consistently represent the monarchical and ‘moderate’ wing. He became president of the Turin war veterans and head of the local Fascist squadre. In 1921, he was elected to the Italian Chamber of Deputies. De Vecchi became Commander General of the Milizia , was one of the quadrumvirs who organised the March on Rome, and sought to persuade Antonio Salandra to enter into Benito Mussolini’s government.
