Savoy. From Counts to Kings of Italy
14.99 €
Savoy is one of the oldest and most influential Italian families in Europe, ruling for nine centuries. Their history dates back to the 11th century, leaving an indelible mark not only in Italy but also beyond its borders.
During the reign of the dynasty, the state underwent significant changes, including industrialization, development of infrastructure, education and health care. The descendants of the family expanded their territories and united Italy, which became an important factor in the history of the country, contributing to its cohesion and development as a nation. However, their reign quickly ended, and future generations of the famous family were exiled.
What connects the two famous families: Valois and Savoy? How many monarchs were there in the family? Who founded the independent state of the Vatican? Why did Charles the Good remain in the memory of descendants as a tyrant? What role did Benito Mussolini play in the collapse of the dynasty? Where are the heirs of the famous house now?
This book offers a new perspective on the meteoric rise and crushing fall of the Italian aristocracy, whose legacy left its mark on both political and cultural life.
