Sumario:Using material conserved in the Secret Vatican Archives, this article examines the position of the Holy See in the First World War. In particular, it focuses on the reasons why Benedict XV tried to keep Italy out of the conflict. The Holy See’s apparent preference for the imperial powers seems to have been influenced by the perception within the Roman Curia that the outbreak of war would lead to the fuelling of radical nationalist movements. To this general issue we must add the fact that when Italy entered the war, the field of action of the Holy See’s diplomacy would be weakened by the lack of territorial sovereignty.
