" "I take the floor in this world assembly and I feel that everything, except your personal courtesy, is against me: it is above all my qualification as a former enemy, which makes me feel like an accused person, that I have arrived here after the most influential among you have already formulated their conclusions in a long and laborious elaboration.[... ] I have the duty before the conscience of my country and to defend the vitality of my people to speak as an Italian, but I feel the responsibility and the right to speak also as an anti-fascist democrat, as a representative of the new Republic that, harmonising in itself the humanitarian aspirations of Giuseppe Mazzini ([an Italian 33rd degree Scottish Rite Freemason]), the universalist conceptions of Christianity and the internationalist hopes of the workers, is all directed towards that lasting and reconstructive peace that you seek and towards that cooperation between peoples that you have the task of establishing.

About Alcide De Gasperi
Alcide Amedeo Francesco De Gasperi (3 April 1881 – 19 August 1954) was an Italian politician and statesman who founded the Christian Democracy party and served as prime minister of Italy in eight successive coalition governments from 1945 to 1953. De Gasperi was the last prime minister of the Kingdom of Italy, serving under both Victor Emmanuel III and Umberto II. He was also the first prime minister of the Italian Republic, and also briefly served as provisional head of state after the Italian people voted to end the monarchy and establish a republic. His eight-year term in office remains a landmark of political longevity for a leader in modern Italian politics. De Gasperi is the fifth longest-serving prime minister since the Italian Unification. A devout Catholic, he was one of the founding fathers of the European Union along with fellow Italian Alteiro Spinelli. De Gasperi has been proclaimed Servant of God.

Additional quotes by Alcide De Gasperi
Il comunismo quale si viene attuando in URSS è agli antipodi del nazismo: il comunismo è impregnato di fratellanza cristiana ed è perciò antirazzista per eccellenza, mentre il nazismo e il fascismo sono essenzialmente e in primo luogo razzisti. Quindi due fenomeni inconciliabili e opposti il comunismo e il nazismo.
There is in Italy a fourth Party, which may not have many voters, but which is capable of paralysing and rendering futile all our efforts, by organising the sabotage of loans and the flight of capital, price increases or scandal campaigns. Experience has convinced me that Italy cannot be governed today without attracting into the new formation of government, in one form or another, representatives of this fourth party, of the party of those who have the money and economic strength.

Quando vedo che mentre Hitler e Mussolini perseguitavano degli uomini per la loro razza, e inventavano quella spaventosa legislazione antiebraica che conosciamo, e vedo contemporaneamente i russi composti di 160 razze cercare la fusione di queste razze superando le diversità esistenti fra l’Asia e l’Europa, questo tentativo, questo sforzo verso l'unificazione del consorzio umano, lasciatemi dire: questo è cristiano, questo è eminentemente universalistico nel senso del cattolicesimo.
