EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of the Italian Royal House of Savoy during World War One. The image features Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy-Aosta, the 2nd Duke of Aosta (1869-1931), and his son, Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta, the 3rd Duke of Aosta (1898-1942), in the northern Italian region of Friuli. Dressed in their military uniforms, the father and son stand together amidst the rugged terrain and harsh winter conditions, reflecting the challenging circumstances of the time. During the First World War, Prince Emanuele Filiberto played a significant role as the Commander-in-Chief of the Italian Army's Fourth Army. He led his troops in the Battle of Caporetto in 1917, which resulted in a major defeat for the Italians. However, his leadership and resilience were instrumental in the eventual Italian victory. Meanwhile, Prince Amedeo, who was only 17 years old at the time, served as a cadet in the Alpine Corps. He later became the 3rd Duke of Aosta after his father's death in 1931. This photograph, taken between 1915 and 1918, symbolizes the unwavering commitment and sacrifice of the Italian royal family during the war. The backdrop of the snow-covered mountains in Friuli adds to the sense of isolation and determination, as the father and son stand strong against the harsh elements and the challenges of the war. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict and the enduring bond between a father and son.
