After one week, Emanuele Filiberto tonight will leave the reality show 'L'Isola dei Famosi'(Celebrity Survivor).
According to the Italian law (article 143bis of the Civil Code), the wife adds her husband's surname to her own surname and retains it during widowhood (but she loses it if she remarries - in this case, she would add to her own surname the surname of the new husband).
So, in her Italian passport Clotilde is Clotilde Courau-di Savoia.
I don't think it's like that, since all Italian married women I know still have their maiden names in both passports and identity cards, driving licenses, etc.According to the Italian law (article 143bis of the Civil Code), the wife adds her husband's surname to her own surname and retains it during widowhood (but she loses it if she remarries - in this case, she would add to her own surname the surname of the new husband).
