Franco Maria Ricci with the UN' Secretary-General U-Thant

In addition to Bodoni's “Oratio Dominica” reprinted by Franco Maria Ricci in 1967, a volume of equal size was published with the allocation of Pope Paul VI to the UN (held in 1965) and the speech by UN Secretary General U-Thant. The words of the latter were composed and printed using the italic bodonian font “Corale”, which was used by Bodoni for the preface of his famous Iliad.
