Italians Send Their King Packing

The wages of political sin and ineptitude caught up last week with the House of Savoy, which for 85 years had ruled Italy. Under four Savoy kings, Italy became a kingdom and a third-class empire, then crashed into moral, military and economic collapse. Her armies tramped around the Mediterranean in a series of small0time but blatant aggressions. Ethiopia was invaded in 1896, Libya in 1911, Ethiopia again in 1935, When it was safe in 1940, France was “stabbed in the back.” Greece was knifed that fall. Yet despite bullying tactics, the armies of the House of Savoy invariably bit the dust: Adowa (1896), Caporetto (1917), Guadalajara (1937), Greece (1940), Africa and Sicily (1940-43).

The Savoyard chiefly responsible for his nation's downfall was Victor Emmanuel III who ruled for 46 years. Too small (5 feet 3 inches) to look like a real monarch, too weak to behave like one, he let Mussolini take over the government in 1923, make Italy the first fascist dictatorship and disrespectfully push the House of Savoy around.

Last week the curtain came down, perhaps forever, on these royal blunders. When Victor Emmanuel went into unwilling exile to Egypt last month, hi stall (6 feet) son, Umberto II, 43, took over. But this was not enough to save the monarchy. In a referendum on June 2, the people voted to end the monarchy. This was Umberto's cue to leave but the House of Savoy had one more chance to make itself ridiculous. When the premier, Alcide de Gasperi, went to the Quirinal Palace to get his abdication, Umberto said he was not going after all. The election, he said, was a fraud. For a few days there was opéra bouffe confusion. Then, suddenly, Umberto packed up, drove to Rome's Ciampino airport, waved goodbye to a few weeping sympathizers and flew off to Portugal.

Just a random noisy question you are free to ignore if it's to noisy: your trilingual, afaik? Have you ever had the situation where you could only speak one of those languages or suddenly didn't understand one of your native languages for a second because you were tuned to another one?

I find it a really funny concept and could only obsverve it once with a friend who endet up only being able to speak Spanish for some time and being really frustrated by it. As well as me not understandig my native language once after speaking in English for several hours (yes, there was alcohol involved 😂)

I am trilangual indeed : English, French and Spanish! I also speak a tad of Italien, and some French and Spanish patois (Savoyard and Mallorquìn) and have some notion of Polish, Irish and Welsh. (Hi, I like linguistics.)

I can juggle with two languages with no issues normally (Listening and singing along to French music whilst reading in English, or speaking in Spanish whilst writing down the order in English for exemple)

However, when I'm visiting my grandparents (who are Italian/French), most of the time I address them in English before my first coffee of the day...! And usually don't realise it until my grand-mother replies in approximate English "I do not speak English my dear" 😂

But, if it's more than 2 languages, that's when things get complicated : used to work in Spain where the owners were German/American, my team was Italian and Polish and the patrons were mostly French. A busy evening felt like a fever dream, where all languages were mixing up in my head, and I would use the wrong language for the wrong person and I'd end up so mentally tired that by the end of the evening, I would speak in monosyllable words...

[rvexillology]

if Croatia became a non-fascist monarchy under Tomislav II after WW2

from /r/vexillology Top comment: **!wave** "Tomislav II" was the brief regnal name of **Aimone, Duke of Aosta**, a prince of the Italian royal House of Savoy, when he was proclaimed King over the German/Italian-influenced Independent State and was nominal head of state over Croatia until his father, Victor Emmanuel II, had him resign after Mussolini's dismissal in 1943. What I meant by the title precisely is essentially **alternate history;** Croatia gets rid of its fascists, but keeps its Savoyard king and becomes a Western democratic constitutional monarchy. The shield is the House of Savoy's coat of arms quartered with the classic Croatian checkerboard. The crown is a heraldic depiction of the **Crown of Zvonimir**, the crown of an 11th-century king whose foreign policy was rather peaceful and instead focused on internal development, and was the last *native* king of Croatia with any real power. The colours of the tricolour are in-betweens of Croatia and Italy's respective shades of blue, green and red.

Italian savoyard helmet, 17th century

from Bolk Antiques

[steellegacy]

⚜️ Savoyard Helmet, Northern Italy, ca. 1630 🏛 Florence, Museo Stibbert (Art Museum) Museo Stibbert

📜 DESCRIPTION: Savoyard helmet was common among the end of the 16th - 17th centuries cuirassiers of the heavy cavalry. "Savoyard" helmets (also known as "Savoyard" burgonet) are a distinctive form of late Italian close-helmet worn by cuirassiers – the heavy cavalry. The term Savoyard is a reference to the large number of these helmets that the Swiss captured from the troops of the duke of Savoy Charles Emanuel I (1580-1630) during an unsuccessful assault on the city of Geneva during the night of December 11–12, 1602. ⠀ The design of the helmet suggests a human face or skull. They were known as "Todenkopf" or “death’s head” helmets in Germany. ⠀ Savoyard helmets show various expressions: ▪ almond or round eyes; ▪ mouths open, closed or even smiling; ▪ perforated moustaches or prominent noses.

- - ⚜️ Кавалерийский шлем "савойяр" или "савояр", ок. 1630 г. 🏛 Флоренция, Музей Стибберта (Museo Stibbert, Art Museum)

📜 ОПИСАНИЕ: Савойский шлем был распространен среди тяжелой кавалерии конца XVI-XVII вв. Термин "савойяр" или "савояр" произошел от французского "savoyard" — савойский. Такие шлемы носили элитные кавалерийские отряды, сформированные Карлом Эммануилом I, герцогом Савойским (1580-1630), во время их неудачного нападения на Женеву в 1602 году. ⠀ Схожесть с черепом послужила основанием для названия этого шлема — «мёртвая голова» (от нем. Todenkopf). Козырёк савойяра часто выгибался двумя дугами над смотровыми прорезями. ⠀ На савойских шлемах встречаются различные выражения: ▪ миндальные или круглые глаза; ▪ открытые, закрытые или даже улыбающиеся рты; ▪ перфорированные усы или выдающиеся носы. ⠀ #medievalarmour #armsandarmor #medievalarmor #armor #armure #harnisch #harness #armatura #helmet #helm #medievalhelmet
