History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Speaking of boxes in central banks

Previous Message

and I hope you will forgive me for expanding the topic but I wonder whatever happened to the Italian Crown Jewels, which have been kept in a box in the Bank of Italy since 1946!

I found an article from 2003 (!!!) where the son of Italy's last King made clear he was dropping any claim to them and hoped they would be placed on public display but thus far nothing!

Such a shame, the jewels of the House of Savoy and the former ruling family of Egypt should be treated in the same way the Louvre treats jewels associated with France's former ruling families.

No problem it's quite similar I remebered the Italian and Iranian ones when I was replying to Beth.

Here is a video for an Auction but i think it didn't go through as most of the pieces in it are now exibted in the jewellery museum.
