Untitled[edit]

A bit of digging reveals the notice of Paget's appointment in The London Gazette, 9 July 1867. In 1876 the Legation was raised to the status of an Embassy (The Times, Wednesday, Mar 22, 1876; pg. 7), and Paget was promoted from Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the King of Italy to Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the King of Italy (The London Gazette, 21 April 1876). I note that for the initial appointment he was based in Florence (the capital until 1870), but at some point in the early 1870's (possibly with the change to Embassy status) the mission officially moved to Rome.
