A series of agreements that marked the
reconciliation of the Italian state with the
papacy 1929. They were hailed as a propaganda
victory for the Fascist regime. The treaties
involved recognition of the sovereignty of
the Vatican City State, the payment of an
indemnity for papal possessions lost during
unification in 1870, and agreement on the
role of the Catholic church within the
Italian state in the form of a concordat
between Pope Pius XI and the dictator
Mussolini.
