Detail of a print entitled "Last Moments of King Victor Emanuel, 9 January 1878". He had been the first King of a united Italy since the 6th century, and he's shown with his eldest son, the soon to be Umberto I, and Umberto's wife, Margherita of Savoy at his bedside.

Humbert I “Whitehand”, Count of Savoy (Umberto Biancamano). Unknown artist.

He was the founder of the House of Savoy. Of obscure origins, his service to the German emperors Henry II and Conrad II was rewarded with the counties of Maurienne and Aosta and lands in Valais, all at the expense of local bishops and archbishops; the territory came to be known as the county of Savoy.

"Io non ho ucciso Umberto. Io ho ucciso il re, ho ucciso un principio." Il 29 luglio di 120 anni fa, a Monza, si apriva così il 1900: Gaetano Bresci, anarchico italiano, torna dagli Stati Uniti a Monza per sparare tre colpi a Umberto I, re d'Italia, per vendicare le violente repressioni dei movimenti siciliani e il massacro di Milano ad opera di Bava Beccaris.

It's time for the return of the “Living People Related to Maria Theresa” game, started by @vivelareine

Here we have a descendant of hers through her daughter, Maria Carolina, the Queen of Naples and Sicily. (Though you can also trace her line of descent to other children of Maria Theresa, due to the amount of intermarriage among the Habsburg Dynasty). Her name is Vittoria of Savoy, and she's a 20 year old fashion model, who is studying art history and political science.

Vittoria of Savoy (Born December 29th, 2003)  –> Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy –> Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy  –> Umberto II –> Victor Emmanuel III –> Umberto I –> Victor Emmanuel II –> Maria Theresa of Austria –> Luisa of Naples and Sicily –> Maria Carolina of Austria –> Maria Theresa
