Tosca, I didn'say I can't understand why Kyara fell in love with charming Prince Amedeo, but I have said I cannot understand the Duke and his behaviour!
I do agree his wife Silvia is a "saint". Princess Claude of Orleans, Amedeo's first wife, said in a interview that she admires Silvia because she stayed with him. She said: " I couldn't".
Poor Claude, when she was carrying their second child, Aimone, her husband Amedeo had an affair and another boy with Nerina Corsina.
Also Claude was a saint.

He should have been more careful, knowing that he had already another illegitimate son.
Kyara always says (to the press, of course) that it was a great love story and that the Duke was so in love with her!??????!
IMO she was and she is still in love with him. That is true!
At least Nerina Corsini never spoke to the press, as far as I know.

Indeed giov, Kyara loves Amedeo's...social position and money! even if he is not a rich man, he has been living without working and but selling family's properties...

Nerina Corsini is a Corsini...so she does not need status symbols as MRS Kyara...

That evening the show focused on Princess Mafalda of Savoy who died in Buchenwald concentration camp. Amedeo and his wife Silvia took part in the talk show as well as Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy.

Amedeo is really a charming man IMO, and his wife is a "saint"!

Silvia is a "Saint", I agree with you Tosca.

From the point of view of public relations, Amedeo is a very good royal (or actor, if you prefer...): he has been educated as a member of a Royal family, the contrary of other members of the Savoy's family...

Does Nerina Corsini belong to this family Corsini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ? If she does, I wonder what prompted her to have an affair with a married man.

Exactly, the Corsini family is one of the few princerly families of Florence/Tuscany, this is the reason why she does not need status symbols...

Well ... In light of new information, I have to say that Dona Silvia is an extraordinary woman indeed. Infidelity is a painful matter for any person being cheated on. Infidelity splashed all over magazines is double pain aggravated with public humiliation. As for Duke Amedeo, he certainly enjoys the old school life.

Right Count! This Kyara instead, has no style, no class, she is boring too, IMO.
Plus "La vita in diretta","Domenica In", Unomattina, Novella 2000 etc, etc.
OMG!
Anyways, Pietro, Nerina's and Amedeo's son, is a really handsome boy.

You're right, Count! Actually I should have guessed it, since he talked as if he was sort of pitching his voice.

Besides, if I'm not mistaken she was married already, when she became romantically involved with Amedeo. As far as I know the kid received the surname of his mother's husband...

He is indeed! I also found this video for him:

According to wikipedia Amedeo claims the title of Duke of Savoy which is disputed and he also claims to be the rightful head to the House of Savoy here is the link.

[Tosca]

Noble titles have been banned in Italy since 1946, and by serving in the Italian army, implies Amedeo swore loyalty to the Italian Republic. So he and his progenie have nothing to claim.
