Death and Funeral of Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy, Prince of Naples, Feb 2024

Wasn't Marina Doria an independently wealthy heiress?

Marina comes from a wealthy family while VE inherited from his parents and from his business. He studied Economics and after working in some Banks in Geneva, he worked with other entrepreneurs as an intermediary and a broker. He played the intermediary in the sale of helicopters to Iran being himself a close friend of the Shah of Persia.

Now it all makes sense!

So, this is why Emanuele Filiberto was also named Reza Ciro (Cyrus)!
And his parents were married in Tehran after all!

Thank you for this most insightful post, JGio!

Has Prince Vittorio Emanuele been buried in Superga in the end? I’ve seen no updates on this regard. Thanks

Emmanuel's sister Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy almost became married to the Shah and had the Pope not opposed she would have been the Empress of Iran instead of Empress Farah Diba. That would have made the Pahlavis to be relatives with almost every crown in Europe. And before that she almost married future King Juan Carlos but Franco opposed to her as future Queen of Spain.
