king of See also:Piedmont. He fought in 1859, and reached the grade of See also:general in the See also:Austrian See also:campaign of 1866, after which he served on the delimitation See also:commission. He was See also:chief of the Military See also:Academy, and in 1867 was made See also:prefect of See also:Ravenna to suppress See also:political disorder. He was defeated at Turin in the elections for the Chamber in 187o, and was sent in 1871 as See also:minister plenipotentiary to See also:Vienna, where he subsequently became See also:ambassador. He was connected with the Prussian See also:nobility by his See also:mother, and he married an Austrian, a daughter of See also:Prince See also:Edmund Clary-Aldringen. In spite of the active See also:share he had taken in See also:driving See also:Austria from See also:Italy, he was a persona grata at Vienna, and his policy was steadily directed to an See also:alliance between the two See also:powers. This was accomplished by the See also:secret terms of the Triple Alliance in 1882. He was recalled to See also:Rome in 1885 to become minister for See also:foreign affairs in the See also:Depretis See also:cabinet. Robilant's See also:independent attitude as foreign minister secured greater See also:consideration for Italy from her See also:allies, but he did not adapt himself to the exigencies of domestic politics, and his excessive unpopularity contributed to the downfall of the See also:ministry on the 7th of See also:February 1887, consequent on an adverse See also:vote on the See also:Massawa question. Before leaving See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, he completed the negotiations for the renewal of the Triple Alliance, and for its See also:extension to See also:cover Anglo-Italian co-operation in the Mediterranean. In the new Depretis-See also:Crispi See also:administration Robilant was not included. He was sent to See also:London as ambassador in the next See also:year, but died two months after his arrival, on the 17th of See also:October 1888.
