"In the name of His Majesty, the King of Italy we assure you not only respect for your complete freedom, your religion, but also respect for all your possessions, your women, your customs. We announce that the conscription, possible economic improvements will be given to you and that we consider you as of now strictly linked to Italy"
After the war, he was President of the Superior Council of the Navy in 1912, as well as Senator of the Kingdom from 17 March 1912.
He died in Rome in 1914 and to this day he is buried in the family tomb in the cemetery of Stradella.
