This article, based on unpublished archives, is devoted to the question: what was the impact of the decolonization of the Belgian Congo on Italian foreign policy (1957-1960)? Facing a shared reality with Belgium, the aim of this research is to study the attitude of Italian foreign policy, forced to maintain a balance between its position in the UN; its relations with Belgium; and the need to maintain influence, mainly through financial penetration, in the newly independent Congo.
