Can you identify the collar on the cushion next to the coffin?

I would expect it to be the Grand Collar of the Supreme Order of the Most Holy Annunciation (gran collare dell'Annunziata), but it doesn't look like it.

Looks like the same church (cathedral? basilica?) as the wedding of princess Carolina of Bourbon-Parma and Albert Brenninkmeijer.

It is indeed the same church, the Basilica di San Miniato al Monte.

I just learned that Amedeo got his ex-wife and another woman pregnant around the same time The boys were born within a month of each other. I can imagine that Claude finding out was what led to their divorce.

It is known that Amedeo had a daughter with Kyara van Ellinkhuizen, but who is the boy that you refer to?

He had a daughter out of wedlock while he was married to his second wife (now widow) Silvia; the other out-of-wedlock child was born in November 1967, a few weeks after his son Aimone. He's Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, natural son of the late Amedeo and Nerina Corsini. His mother was also married at the time of his birth, so her husband was of course automatically the child's legal father. According to what I've heard, Piero always knew that he was the natural son of the Duke of Aosta, but he always had a good relationship with his legal father (from a famous Tuscanian winemaking family), so he had no interest in being formally acknowledged as Amedeo's son.
His name is mentioned in some genealogy websites:

Descendants of King Louis Philippe I of the French

Thank you for pointing this out. This has been a principle of family law in Europe (and many other regions as well) for millennia, but it is often overlooked by present-day royal watchers.
