I look forward reading your article: beyond its sheer beauty, the tiara is interesting in itself, as the symbol of the reconciliation of two Italian royal families. I love the fact it bears Bourbon symbols and Savoy heirlooms... such an appropriate gift!
I don't know if you found further information about it, but I do wonder if the lillies may have been added later, as they seem to be removable elements.
Thank you Thomas for another exceptional post! As always, it was a pleasure to read!
I have been researching on Princess Maria Francesca's Tiara for a future post! I found a picture of her wearing it at Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia and Princess Maria Pia of Italy’s Pre-Wedding Gala in Portugal in 1955 .
