Line of succession to the Italian throne
- Line of succession to the Italian throne
The Italian monarchy was abolished in June 1946 following a referendum which established a republic. The present pretender is in dispute between Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples and Amedeo, 5th Duke of Aosta.
The Prince of Naples
Vittorio Emanuele is the son of the last King Umberto II and was regarded as the head of the House of Savoy until the 7 July, 2006 when the Duke of Aosta declared himself to be the head of the house and Duke of Savoy. The line of succession to Vittorio Emanuele is:
#Prince Emanuele Filiberto, Prince of Venice and Piedmont (born 1972)
#Prince Amedeo, 5th Duke of Aosta (born 1943)
#Prince Aimone, Duke of Apulia (born 1967)
The Duke of Aosta
The Duke of Aosta claims that because Vittorio Emanuele married in violation of Savoy dynastic law he lost his dynastic rights. The President of the "Council of the Senators of the Kingdom" Aldo Alessandro Mola published a declaration in favour of Amedeo's claim; and he also received the support of Vittorio Emmanuele's sister Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy. The line of succession to Amedeo, Duke of Aosta is:
#Prince Aimone, Duke of Apulia (born 1967)
