Mafalda di Savoia

I just learned about this Italian miniseries about the life of Princess Mafalda of Savoy, the daughter of King Vittorio Emanuele III, who married Prince Philipp of Hesse and later died in a Nazi prison camp.

The miniseries is in Italian, but I was wondering if it is available to purchase somewhere, with English subtitles, or at all. Here is the trailer: YouTube - MAFALDA DI SAVOIA

It looks very good, and it looks like the Royal Family was very involved in the production. Princess Maria Gabriella was a consultant, and Clotilde Courau, who is the wife of Prince Emanuele Filiberto, played Princess Giovanna in the film.
 
Do you know if these books are in French, English or Spanish?

Regards and thanks!!
 
The memories of queen Maria Jose, "Albert et Elisabeth de Belgique: mes parents" (I hope is written correctly), published in italian as "Giovinezza di una regina"

Regards and thanks!

Now that I think about it, this is not properly a book about House Savoy...It's excellent about Queen Maria Jose, but not exactly about the Italian Royal Family...

a lot of lies!!!!!

Sorry, but Maria José telling how her father met her mother is simply UNTRUE. And historians accepted her version for many years until the moment a bio on Queen Elisabete (sic, I am writing in a hurry) was published in around 10 years ago.
 
The book Queen Marie-José wrote many years ago about her parents TM King Albert Ier and Queen Elisabeth was a best-seller and a very interesting book with a highlight of both exceptional monarchs and their heroic behaviour during WW1.

And how did it happen?

I agree completely with you, Maria-Olivia, this book is very very interesting, and portrays two great monarchs.
 
Princess María Pia de Saboya wrote her memories for Mondadori of Italy. Check the facts about the book:
Título: La mia vita. I miei ricordi
Maria Pia di Savoia
Editore: Mondadori Electa
Numero di pagine: 192

The Heirs to the Savoia Throne and the Construction of Italianita, 1860-1900 by Maria Christina Marchi
 
I started now with books on the Italian noble families like the THE BORGIAS, The MEDICI & tHE ORSINI'S, specially with the ORSINI family, a member of the ORSINI noble family, in the early 60's had a love affair with the then princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, it was a big uproar in the early 60's, specially with the Dutch parliament & it was rejected.
This is a little news snippet for you, I hope you are interested, thanks for replying on my Italian royal books.
