Description:

In June 1890, the Sultan of Morocco sent an Ambassador to Italy (Hagi El Maati el Mazamizi), to meet the Italian King and present him with extremely rich gifts.
The Ambassador – who was escorted by his secretary, an interpreter, and some dignitaries – was received with the highest honours. He met with the Italian Prime Minister and with the King, who offered a gala dinner for him.
The menu for the gala dinner was in French. A military band played different pieces of music during the dinner.
