The Armistice of Malta, or referred to as the Additional Conditions for the Armistice with Italy in Italy and the Instrument of Surrender of Italy by the Allies, was a written agreement which was signed on 29 September 1943 by Italy and the Allies in the latter of World War II. The documents was the modification of the signed Armistice of Cassibile, an armistice which was signed on 3 September 1943 in Cassibile, Sicily.[1][2]

It was signed by Marshal Pietro Badoglio for Italy, and General Dwight D. Eisenhower for the Allies, at Malta aboard the British battleship HMS Nelson. The armistice was also referred to as the Long Armistice in Italy, which the shorter version of the long armistice was already signed at the Armistice of Cassibile.
