Aimone is the Number Three in the Savoia line of succession, after Emanuele Filiberto and his father Amedeo. The same Aimone is the Number Two in the Savoia-Aosta line of succession, after his father Amedeo.

Aimone is the only one who has sons. As things are as now, the future of the Italian Royal House lies with Aimone and his young sons. Aimone and Emanuele Filiberto also seem the only ones to be on normal speaking terms, unlike their respective fathers. It is never unwise to invest in mutual understanding and be in agreement about the future of the House.

No,the two families have not been on speaking terms for long indeed...Especially not since E-F's father punched Aimones dad on the nose in Madrid,IIRC at Felipe and Letizia's wedding....Making J-C exclaim;" Nunca Mas!!"

They don't really need to talk to eachother...E-F is busy doing his own thing with a sense for reality,the other side has a more "we are the real RF " approach.Not that they are recognised as such though...But when one has nothing else or senseble to do,one can always claim old matters from a (not so-) far past and have hopes,and meanwhile,while hoping,visit botox clinics (Aimone's stepmom..),attend premieres and funerals and any other occasion that saves one from total oblivion.. But EF is an OK guy!!

Prince Aimone di Savoia-Aosta is the CEO of Pirelli Russia & The Nordic Countries. He is also vice-president of GIM-Unimpresa, the Russian branch of Confindustria (the Italian Chamber of Commerce). Before that he has had a career at JP Morgan & Co, worked at Italian grand industries as Rinascente (the biggest Italian retail chain with upmarket luxury warehouses), Indesit (the biggest Italian electronics manufacturer) and Tripcovich (a big Italian shipping company which also owns ports, cargo-handling and inland transport firms).

With all respect, that does not sound as someone whom "has nothing else or sensible to do". I think that Prince Aimone di Savoia-Aosta is actually one of the hardest working royals around and deseverve respect and admiration for that. Emanuele Filiberto is the one whom has little else to do than walking red carpets, the one première after the other.

It was at the wedding! He got punched so hard he fell into the arms of Queen Anne-Marie of Greece.
Must've been some party since Ernst-August of Hannover got so drunk he couldn't attend the wedding ceremony the day after.

I have an innocent question or inquiry after this photos (I hope not to misunderstand Italian posters here). If and when the monarchy in Italy return this man supposed to be the king; (Although I think that neither he believes)

[MAfan]

As it is explained far and wide in this thread, the succession is disputed.
On a side are those who point out that the marriage of Emanuele Filiberto's parents in 1970 violated the laws of the House of Savoy and therefore both Vittorio Emanuele and his descendants (included Emanuele Filiberto) are excluded from the succession.
On the other side are those who claim that, since King Umberto II never said officially anything the marriage of his son, Vittorio Emanuele never lost his succession rights and therefore, in case of a restoration, he would become the King and, after him, his son Emanuele Filiberto.
But this dispute has, concretely, more to do with the Headship of the Royal House and the management of the dynastic orders rather than with the very remote chance of a restoration.

[eya]

So right now there is no one Headship of the Royal House?

[MAfan]

On the contrary, there are currently two claimants to the Headship of the House of Savoy: Vittorio Emanuele on a side and his cousin Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, on the other side.
Anyway, most likely the problem will be solved by the passing of the time: when Vittorio Emanuele and Emanuele Filiberto will die, the only male members of the House of Savoy will be the descendants of Prince Amedeo and the succession will in any case pass to the Aosta branch (since the succession in the House of Savoy is ruled by the Salic law).

[Duc_et_Pair]

Unless Prince Vittorio Emanuele or Prince Emanuele Filiberto do a 'michaelist coup' by unilaterally changing the succession à la King Michael of Romania, the headship of the House will indeed finally end in the Savoia-Aosta branch of the Italian royal family.
