The paper examines the diplomatic dialogue that started between Francis I of France and pope Leo X in the aftermath of the French reconquest of the Duchy of Milan that ensued from the battle of Marignano (September 13-14 1515). At the beginning, the pontiff and the king conducted negotiations remotly by means of standard diplomatic channels (nuncios, ambassadors, letters, and other written documents). This clever settlement of disputes changed dramatically in December 1515: the two reconciled leaders met in person in Bologna, ushering in a sequence of meetings between princes and popes which became typical of the diplomatic history of the early modern period.
