 Adam Jerzy Czartoryski Information
Throughout the reign of Paul, Czartoryski was in high favor and on terms of the closest intimacy with the emperor, who in December 1798 appointed him ambassador to the court of Charles Emmanuel IV of Sardinia.
On reaching Italy, Czartoryski found that the monarch to whom he was accredited was a king without a kingdom, so that the outcome of his first diplomatic mission was a pleasant tour through Italy to Naples, the acquisition of the Italian language, and a careful exploration of the antiquities of Rome.
Czartoryski found the emperor still suffering from remorse at his father's assassination, and incapable of doing anything but talk religion and politics to a small circle of private friends.
