What was Vittorio Orlando's goal at the peace conference?

Vittorio Orlando, the Italian Prime Minister, aimed to secure territorial gains for Italy at the Paris Peace Conference following World War I. He sought recognition of Italy’s claims to territories promised in the 1915 Treaty of London, particularly parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, such as South Tyrol, Trentino, and Istria. Orlando was motivated by a desire to enhance Italy's status as a great power and to rectify perceived injustices in the post-war settlement. However, his goals faced significant opposition from other Allied leaders, leading to tensions during the negotiations.
