About this person
He initially came into conflict with Mussolini's fascists, though he ultimately aligned himself with the regime, and was employed by the fascist government, writing books apologizing for the fascist politics. Celso Costantini described him as "a Fascist, but also a gentleman". Very fond of his native Dalmatia, Salata strenuously fought for Italy's annexation of its irredent lands, during and after World War I, participating in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Rapallo. Salata upheld the idea that Dalmatia, Istria and the Kvarner were, historically, Italian lands.
