The Forgotten Savoy Princess

“The Forgotten Savoy Princess” is the story of Princess Leina of Savoy, the only child of King Umberto II and Gelsomina Malatesta, who secretly married in Italy on the 10th of February 1926. It is also the story of the Royal Family of Italy; a murder committed by a fourteen-year-old girl; the attempted killing of the King’s mistress; the Knights Templar, who acted as bodyguards for the Princess and her mother; and the treasure King Victor Emmanuel III seized from Mussolini and Hitler just before the end of the Second World War. When Italy became a republic, all male members of the monarchy were thrown out of the country. Unable to return, they could not reclaim their treasure, worth 300 billion euros, which remains in Italy.
