As I heard today, some journalists are suggesting that it was a pro-Savoia propaganda, and not a "real" song
Well, some republicans/communists wish (or should I say
demand?) even Savoys declared themselves to be anti-Savoys...How ridiculous!
They demand the only
right opinion, the only acceptable opinion about House Savoy it's a bad opinion of it, they don't accept people who have a good opinion of it; they say people who speak highly of House of Savoy are all fascists, reactionarys, and monarchists and therefore these people should simply not be allowed to speak at all. That's a quite curious idea of democracy and free speach, isn't it?
as for the Prince, I don't really pity him since i have a feeling his trying to get famous in his family's name
I think I
almost agree with you,
Mandie, the Gothic Empress ; sometimes I thought, being him a kind of Crown Prince, he shouldn't act like this. House of Savoy is one of the greatest and most ancient European Royal Houses, its members did great and unique things (not to mention it was House of Savoy that unified and freed Italy in XIX century and, as I'm Italian, that's its greatest merit to me), and the undignified behaviour of some of its members could be of damage to the whole House.
I don't want to start a discussion about the most-known
Italian succession question between Savoy-Carignans and Savoy-Aostas, but may be I undestand why many people among monarchists want Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta be Head of the Royal House istead of Victor Emmanuel of Savoy, being the latter a controversial character too. However I take the side of none of them, I'm neutral.
