As RIA Novosti reports, a representative of a noble family died peacefully surrounded by his family.
In 1978, he was accused of killing a German youth on the island of Corsica following an argument over a pleasure boat. The court acquitted the aristocrat, but in 2006 he accidentally confessed to the deliberate murder of a 19-year-old young man. The case was not re-investigated.
In June 2023, the grandson of Umberto II, the son of Victor Emmanuel, Prince Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy, announced that he intended to renounce his right to the throne of Italy, which in fact no longer exists, and abdicate in favor of his eldest daughter, 19-year-old Vittoria. In 2020, Victor Emmanuel changed the rules of succession, according to which only a man could be heir to the throne.
