Italy’s former royal family demands return of crown jewels, confiscated since WWII

  1. We have the same idiots in Germany. They want to have some castles and a right to have a say how the infamous history of their family is covered in museums.

    Their chances are bad but they keep the courts busy.

  2. I assume that the Italian Crown Jewels are currently in a Italian Museum?

    The Iron Crown (Italian: Corona Ferrea; Latin: Corona Ferrea) is a reliquary and may be one of the oldest royal insignia of Christendom. It was made in the Early Middle Ages, consisting of a circlet of gold and jewels fitted around a central silver band, which tradition held to be made of iron beaten out of a nail of the True Cross. In the medieval Kingdom of Italy, the crown came to be seen as a relic from the Kingdom of the Lombards and was used as regalia for the coronation of the Holy Roman Emperors as kings of Italy. It is kept in the Cathedral of Monza.

  3. The descendants of former royalty should not be given anything at all. No jewels, no estates, no right to enter the country, no media spotlight. Cockroaches are more worthy than these parasites.

  4. The crown = the state.

    By definition, anything belonging to the “crown” belongs to the state, even after becoming a republic. It is not -and was never- personal property of the monarch.
