Re: The Basilica at Superga - One of Savoy Family's burial places

Posted by Carlo on 1/11/2009, 10:49:18, in reply to "Re: T.M. King Vittorio Emanuele III and Queen Elena's tombs"

The Basilica of Superga (Turin) is a very special place. I went last year for the second time in my life. I went with some friends and took a guided tour. I ended up explaining the history of each member buried there, also because my friends were French speaking from Quebec, and the tour guide spoke only Italian. He also made a huge mistake, I was embarassed for him. He was speaking about Archduchess Maria Adelaide of Habsburg, the wife of the future King Vittorio Emanuele II of Italy. He said that, since Maria Adelaide was Archduke Rainer of Austria's daughter, she was related to the Rainiers of Monaco, not knowing that the rulers of Monaco's family name is Grimaldi. What is more, Rainer is a first name, not a last name in this case.
