Hitler admired Mussolini already in the 1920s. Mussolini’s successful “March on Rome” in 1922 inspired Hitler to try his first attempted coup, the Beer Hall Putsch, in 1923. Although there were some differences between Germany and Italy, namely the question about the German-speaking region of South Tyrol, a region that was annexed by Italy from Austria after WWI, or the question about Austrian independence, the NSDAP and PSI had similar goals and worldviews, both being ultra-nationalistic and both wanting to conquer new territory, Germany wanted to revenge the Treaty of Versailles, and Italy wanted to create a new Roman Empire, a new Italian-controlled Mediterranean sea. 

The first informal meeting between Hitler and Mussolini happened in Venice in 1934, but what really fueled the German-Italian relations was Italy’s war against Ethiopia. Since the League of Nations imposed sanctions against Italy in November 1935, which Germany did not join, and thus Italy went for closer economical relations with Germany. 

On November 1st, 1936, Mussolini proclaimed the “Axis-Berlin-Rome” for the first time, which was at that time just an informal name, as the official Axis treaty was only signed in May 1939.
 
On September 28th, 1937, Mussolini visited Germany for the first time and held a speech in German, which he spoke because he used to live in Switzerland from 1902-1904 and briefly in Austria in 1909.
