The first meeting of Der Führer and Il Duce
In June, 1934, Hitler visited Italy to have his first talks with Mussolini (At this point they had not yet formed an alliance.) Mussolini made a strong impact on Hitler, but Mussolini was not impacted in the same way. The fact that Hitler first met Mussolini in civilian clothes, instead of his usual brown uniform, seems to have contributed to this greatly.
