Princess Maria Gabriella, called "Ella" talks about the return of remains of her grandparents and generally about her current life.

Very interesting interview, and a clear view from the Princess about the nature of aristocracy vs 'commoner' additions to Royal Houses. Her statement that 'it's the person and their nature which is interesting and shows who they are, not whether or not they are highborn', which shows her intelligence and understanding of the need for all houses, even royal ones, to keep up with the time.

Somewhere, Duc, I can sense your disapproval =)
 
Ow, I am close to Taranto now but leave from Brindisi Airport at the 15th. No chance for me to see it. Puglia is so beautiful. Gallipoli, Bari, Lecce, Otranto, Alberobello, Matera, Locorotondo, I can not get enough of it. What a great region, fantastic food, wonderful people!
 
Puglia is a very very beautiful Region.
This events are not in Puglia but in Piedmond, near Turin.
"Brindisi a Corte" is the name of the event, in this case brindisi is not the town, but means "Toasts at the Royal Court".

Maria Giovanna Battista was never a Queen, she was a Duchess in the years when Piedmont was Duchy of Savoy.

In Alessandria in the Church of San Giovannino the Holy Mass was celebrated in memory of the Blessed Maria Cristina of Savoy, Queen of the Two Sicilies:
