Dall’archivio di Cavour è spuntata una lettera all’alleato Urbano Rattazzi in cui, fra il serio e il faceto, il Conte denuncia il suo imbarazzo for having received the gift of a trout caught in state-owned waters, and public property. It must be said that the scruples of the great man also embraced much bigger fish: When the banker offered him a Rothschild financial speculation in securities of certain railroads, Cavour thanked him as a friend, but I distrusted him as president of the Council's proposals contained such a glaring conflict of interest.
I have for years to come Administrators State ethically sound like Count Cavour.
This is my best wish I can do for our Italy, united by great statesmen and brave men 150 years ago.
