I did not know that Robert Zellinger was such a wealthy man. Impressive art collection! Too bad that the family has to sell it.

An article about that!
"The Italian national soccer team, as a tribute to the Royal House of Italy, wore blue shirts for the first time in January 1911, and the maglietta azzurra quickly become the symbol of the sport."

It is, but judging from the looks of all four, I think it's an old photo they've shared for the occasion.

I agree Clothilde is not blond now. She had dark hair at Johnny Halliday's Funerals
She plays actually the Role of the French Lawyer Gisèle Hamili .

Last week, at the reburial of his grandfather, both Prince Vittorio Emmanuele as well Marina Doria looked very frail ( picture) and ( picture). Clotilde was -as usual- nowhere to be seen.
