This is a thank-you letter written by the director of La Revue Hebdomadaire, to the Countess Pecci-Blunt, for the invitation at her Royal Villa in Marlia (Lucca). A long autograph expressing an extreme admiration for the summer residence of the Countess, and an equally great admiration for everything Le Grix has seen in Rome, a common opinion to all French visiting the capital. The countess adds in a written note attached to this letter: "Only Mussolini did not realize the great admiration the visitors has in front of the magnificence of Rome.Mussolini was able to commute this admiration in hate in a few years".
La Revue Hebdomadaire was a French literary weekly review founded in 1892 by Fernand Laudet and published until 1939. In 1908, this review absorbed Le Monde moderne and femme today.After having been its secretary in the 1910s, then its editor in chief in November 1920, succeeding René Moulin, François Le Grix (1881-1966) became its director from October 1922 to 1939.
Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971)
Best-known as "Mimì" Pecci-Blunt , the Italian noblewoman was an art collector, patron and nephew of Pope Leo XIII. Extremely volcanic, she was very active in the cultural field, opening numerous lounges, galleries and theaters. In 1919 she married Cecil Blumenthal, later changed to Blunt, a wealthy Jewish banker from New York, heir to an important collection of nineteenth-century French painting. His Parisian and Roman salons was frequented by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel, and Aldo Palazzeschi!
