egypt–italy relations refer to relations between egypt and italy. relations were first established during the period of the roman republic, when the ptolemaic kingdom frequently interacted with rome, culminating in the roman annexation of egypt in 30 bc. with the dissolution of the western roman empire in 476 ad and egypt's continuation as a province of the eastern roman empire until the islamic conquest in 642 ad, there were no independent states of italy and egypt, and as such no diplomatic relations. cultural ties between egypt and italy distanced further over time with the islamisation of egypt and the strength of catholicism in italy. it would not be until egypt's official independence from the british in 1914 that relations with italy would be reestablished. with the rise of mussolini and fascism in italy and the eventual italian invasion of egypt during world war ii, relations became severely strained. however, after the war, relations were re-established and the countries now have a cordial relationship. egypt has an embassy in both rome and milan, while italy has an embassy in both cairo and alexandria. egypt and italy are both members of the union for the mediterranean.

the main characters of the story are seventy-nine-year-old grandfather fortune, a successful landowner, and his favorite granddaughter, mary fortune pitts, who is said to resemble him and he believes that she shares his business acumen. the grandfather is at the very least ambivalent toward his own daughter and dislikes his son-in-law, pitts, but allows them to reside on a piece of his property. when the grandfather sells parcels of his land for development, he intentionally irritates his son-in-law pitts on every occasion. the grandfather is in return frustrated every time pitts takes mary fortune to the woods to beat her with a belt and tells her that she should not be so compliant. eventually, fortune decides to sell a parcel of land where pitts grazes his calves for a gas station, and, in doing so, would obstruct their view of the woods. fortune sells the land to a serpent-like man named tilman, despite mary fortune's attempts to dissuade him from doing so. after mary fortune continually irritates her grandfather, he attempts to punish her, but she attacks him and says that she is entirely a pitts, not a fortune. in response, the grandfather smashes her head against the rocks, killing her, and then presumably suffers a heart attack as he looks out at a bulldozer developing his land.
