# La Domenica del Corriere, 24 February 1929: 'Uno storico avvenimento' (signing of the Lateran Pacts)

Colour weekly cover showing a cardinal in red cape signing a document while a standing official and a seated man in a dark suit look on. The printed caption names the two signatories as 'il Duce e il Cardinale Gasparri', presenting the agreement between the Italian State and the Holy See as a historic event and giving the regime leader the pictorial weight of the Church's Secretary of State beside him. The tell: the caption names no one else on the Italian side and calls Mussolini by his regime title, so the Church's solemnity attaches to him personally.
