Abstract
At the eve of his brilliant diplomatic career, a young Carlo Sforza was serving at the Italian Embassy in Constantinople where it was a privileged witness of the Ottoman Empire new course. The Young Turk revolution stood as a challenge for the old political system in order to project the whole Empire towards the pursued modernity. Following the dramatic days of the Turkish counter-revolution on April 1909 and the consequent downfall of the Sultan Abdul Hamid II, Carlo Sforza was a watchful observer and a pragmatic witness of this unique historical moment not only for the Ottoman history but also for the shaping of the new Turkish nation after the First War World.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
