The author of the article describes two trips to Italy made by Leo Tolstoy in 1857 and 1860–1861, and for the first time publishes her own translation from Italian into Russian of the text appearing in the pamphlet “Three Popes, or Peace Between Christian Churches” (I tre papi, ossia la pace tra le chiese cristiane, 1893) as a report by L.N. Tolstoy at the “Conference on the fusion of all Christian churches” (held supposedly in 1891, in Florence). She also publishes three letters sent to Tolstoy by the author of the pamphlet, Giovanni Guidotti, recently discovered in the Department of Manuscript Funds of the State Museum of L.N. Tolstoy, which demonstrate that Tolstoy never attended the aforementioned conference and that Guidotti’s book is a historical forgery.
