Collection of 4 photographs on the November 18, 1906 visit of the Prince of Udine to Mogadishu. By way of background, Italy gained control of the ports of the Benadir coastal area with the concession of a small strip of land on the coast from the Sultan of Zanzibar, and over the following decades, Italian settlement was encouraged. In 1905, Italy assumed the responsibility of creating a colony in southern Somalia, after several failed attempts, following revelations that the Benadir Company had tolerated or collaborated in the perpetuation of the slave trade. On April 5, 1908 the Italian Parliament enacted a basic law to unite all of the parts of southern Somalia into an area called "Somalia Italiana". The visit by the Prince of Udine was no doubt part of a fact finding mission in preparation for the unification of Italian Somaliland. Each photo well described and dated on back. M
