Opening of the Roman Council of State in Rome
The November 15 investiture of Rome’s new Council of State is described as a grand yet sober ceremony. Processions from the Quirinal to St Peter’s and later the Lateran featured provincial ensigns, civic guards, and noble retinues. Citizens lined the streets amid banners, gobelin tapestries, and flowers while a mass at St Peter’s marked the formal constitution, signaling cautious optimism and mixed political hopes for reform.
