Aimone says Emanuele Filiberto doesn’t get history right and that he tried to explain it but wasted his time. Aimone stresses the importance of respecting today’s Italian Republic while also honoring the monarchy’s past.
Key points:
- The Savoy family jewels have been at the Bank of Italy since 1945. Aimone says they belong to the State and should be shown to the public. Emanuele Filiberto disagrees, saying the Aosta branch doesn’t have a claim.
- Emanuele Filiberto said the Republic started shakily and blamed the Savoia, claiming the Duke of Aosta was Mussolini’s puppet. Aimone counters that his great-uncle Amedeo actually opposed Mussolini and the racial laws, based on his diaries.
- Aimone denies the claim that the Aosta branch was close to fascism.
- Aimone served in the military under the Republic and believes in serving the country no matter the government.
- He wants to rethink the House of Savoy’s role today, focusing on preserving its history instead of fighting over titles, accepting the Republic, and seeking peace within the family.
He pointed out the different situations their family branches lived through during fascism, their personal experiences of exile and service, and invited working together to promote shared values tied to the House of Savoy instead of division.
