Russian Foreign Minister Georgy Tchitcherin does indeed meet the Italian king, and is even filmed shaking his hand. “In Rome, do as Rome does,” he says.

Tchitcherin also shakes the hand of French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou, who upon discovering that the moment was captured on film demands “in explosive French” that the film be destroyed. The cameramen refused.
