Gb, Italian nobles: “Elizabeth II a myth, no to Savoy on the throne”

Elizabeth II will remain an unattainable myth in the history of Europe, as demonstrated by the triumph of the Platinum Jubilee. A pop icon, a loved and admired sovereign. But only in her country as an example of dedication and devotion, almost sacred. And if in Italy many representatives of the aristocracy are cheering for her, no shadow of a doubt that the ancient house of Savoy, for many of them, is just a page of history to be forgotten. “Their return to the throne? An unthinkable joke – comments with Adnkronos Gelasio Gaetani Lovatelli of L’Aquila di Aragona – Elisabetta has instead shown that she has been able to represent the United Kingdom for 70 years. An institutional role, her, but above all sentimental and attachment to the country “. “There is no great interest in Italy for a return of the Savoy to the throne – intervenes Prince Guglielmo Giovanelli Marconi, nephew of the Nobel Prize in Physics – Too much time has passed, people have forgotten and among other things they do not even study much history, there is no curiosity, there is no hunger for knowledge. In England it is different – he adds – The subjects have always lived with the monarchy and with their queen. Towards Elizabeth II there is almost an affection and a psychological subjection. Even for the most hardened republicans the queen is not touched “. “Queen Elizabeth? A metaphysical figure, she does not seem to belong to our time. The monarchy in Italy with the Savoy? It will not return. In England it is different. A whole people identifies with her even if the sovereign remains a symbolic figure. the destiny of the nation has never been decided – explains Innocenzo Odescalchi, prince, intellectual and sculptor – After all we in Italy have the pontiff, in the United Kingdom the queen, a sort of god, it is no coincidence that he is also the head of the Anglican Church “. “For the British, Queen Elizabeth is a very strong symbol, she represents the identity of a nation. It would never have happened in Italy. We are too individualistic people, a country of bell towers. A feeling that is inherent in our DNA – explains Flaminia Patrizi Montoro. belonging to an ancient family of the black papal nobility – Although the celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee were a great success, no fear … the Savoy family will not return to the throne. empathic and rich in humanity, Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia could still amaze us “.” Elizabeth II has represented in all these years balance, stability, she has never abused her role and her image. A woman admired even in the most moments difficult and painful history of the English monarchy. But all this could only happen in the United Kingdom – underlines Chiara Anguissola d’Altoé, descendant of Sofonisba one of the greatest Italian Renaissance painters – The monarchy will not return to Italy. To gird a crown, one must study and be prepared. I don’t know if the Savoys will ever be up to it. But the enthusiasm for the celebrations of Queen Elizabeth has led to a different and new awareness linked to the role of monarchies in Europe – he adds – And let’s not forget that on the thrones of the old continent, from Spain to Sweden, from Holland to Norway they will rise, before long, only young queens. For once there will be no problem of the pink quotas. “” No return of the Savoy to Italy, no desire to see them once again on the throne. With Elizabeth II and her Platinum Jubilee it was different. Queen Elizabeth has dedicated her entire existence to the country and to her subjects. She is the true queen, loved by everyone, a pop sovereign, a myth. The only, great and true monarchical institution. That’s what’s missing in Italy. The sense of institutions and a great man (or woman) of State – spoke Federico Gargallo of Castel Lentini Priolo. “Elizabeth was a beloved, respected queen. Her popularity is not in question, even among a small circle of republican subjects. She has served her people for 70 years, impeccably – declares Simonetta Allder d’Aquino, illustrious birthplace, a existence divided between England and Italy – His almost religious mission – continued from his London buen retiro where he followed the celebrations of the Platinum Jubilee – It did not happen for the Savoy family. Just re-read history. in any case, that in Italy there is nostalgia for the Savoy. And let’s not forget that many in the country cheered for the Bourbons “.
