...Royal Danieli Hotel in Venice, around the corner from the famed Piazza di San Marco, Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano and Hungarian Foreign Minister Count Stephan Csáky held a two-day conference to discuss the Balkan-Russian problem. From Venice sickly Count Csáky was scheduled to go for a rest to San Remo. Instead, he suddenly returned to Budapest.
