Victor Emmanuel of Savoy, son of the last king of Italy, dies in Geneva. The death occurs a few months after in 2023 he and his wife, the former water skiing champion Marina Doria, sold their mansion on the outskirts of Geneva and auctioned some of the most exclusive objects that they had treasured there.
"At 7:05 this morning (6:05 GMT), His Royal Highness Victor Emmanuel passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family," indicated the note from the noble house, which reigned in Italy from 1861 until 1946.
