Following my letter of 18.VIII.1941 - No.9285/41 D.Kult.11 No.1 - Rpr.559 Bearb.110 The German Embassy in Rome reported on the negotiations with the Italian Government as follows: "The envoy De C i c c o was handed over the written formulation of the German wishes which he had promised at the last meeting, whose early written answer he promised. Minister De C i c c o said that a transfer of the Italian Cultural Institute in Prague to Berlin would not be possible at the moment, as it would involve large financial expenditures and investments, since Berlin, as the capital of the Reich, would require a completely different framework for an Italian cultural institute. Mr De C i c c o took the view that, because of this diversity, the establishment of an Italian cultural institute in Berlin must be treated as a matter completely separate from the institution in Prague. De C c o envisaged the writing of the limitation of the Italian Cultural Institute in Prague to the Reichs- deutschen. To the dissolution of the "Dante Alighieri Society" and the Italian-Czech League, he gave his orally consent." I will let further information on the progress of the conflicts follow.
