Princess Vittoria of Savoy ("Vittoria Cristina Adelaide Chiara Maria di Savoia", born December 29, 2003, Geneva, Switzerland) is the first child and daughter of Emanuele Filiberto, Prince of Venice and Piedmont and Clotilde Courau. She has one younger sister, Princess Luisa. She is the granddaughter of Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples, the current head of the House of Savoy, and his wife Marina née Ricolfi-Doria.

She was christened on May 30th 2004 by Monseigneur Giovanni Cheli at the Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi. Her godparents were Ottavio Mazzola and Roberta Fabbri. The baby wore a christening gown, which was already worn by her great-great-grandfather Vittorio Emanuele (III) at his christening on May 31, 1869. Among the guests were Prince Albert of Monaco, Princess Maria Beatrice of Savoy, Prince Serge of Yugoslavia and Princess Mafalda of Hesse, granddaugther of Princess Mafalda of Savoy. The parents selected Assisi in light of its symbolism of peace.

Although the titles and distinctions of the Italian royal family have been legally abolished, she often is styled Princess of out of courtesy, particularly by supporters of the former monarchy.Due to the fact that the succession in the house of Savoy is regulated by the salic law, Vittoria has no right of succession as head of the house of Savoy.
