The site formerly belonged to King

property given by him to the Queen
Mother Margherita when Victor Emar-
muel assembled the throne in 1900. It
consists of two villas and a beautiful
park, the whole embracing II 900 square
meters, facing on the new boulevard
via Veneto, in the heart of Rome.
One of the villas will contain the en-
baSSy and consulate Offices. The other
will be Ambassador CARROTS residence.
Carlo Ciulli-Ruggieri, Italian repre-
sentative Of the Chase National Bank,
New York, who conducted the negotia-
tons leading to the signing of the con-
tract, worked for four years before he
put through the commissioners deal.
The two villas are about so years
old. but in excellent condition. In them
have lived many members Of the royal
family.
One villa is already equipped as an
Office building. It will be ready for
occupancy within month or two. The
embassy first, however, has to solve the
problem Of its present two-year lease on
the Giovineln Palace, which began only
six months ago, before it can move.
