Lateran Treaty
The Lateran Treaty was signed on 11 February 1929 by Cardinal Pietro Gasparri for Pope Pius XI and Benito Mussolini for the Kingdom of Italy. It settled the Roman Question, the dispute that had followed Italy's seizure of Rome in 1870, by creating the independent state of Vatican City. An accompanying concordat regulated the position of the Catholic Church in Italy.
