Vita di corte in casa Savoia
Un volume che ci introduce fin nel cuore delle dimore sabaude del secolo scorso, facendoci parte del cerimoniale, delle abitudini, della vita che si conduceva alla corte delle tre regine d'Italia, Margherita, Elena e Maria Josè. Abiti e manti di corte per le grandi occasioni, livree e divise, foto di famiglia e ritratti ufficiali. Un'accurata ricerca, svolta negli archivi della Fondazione Umberto II e Maria Josè di Savoia dalla principessa Maria Gabriella di Savoia e da Stefano Papi, ha riportato alla luce inedite pagine di storia, documenti di archivio, lettere e fotografie che vengono pubblicate qui per la prima volta.
Gioielli di Casa Savoia
Il testo, accompagnato da immagini storiche (molte delle quali inedite) e fotografie dei gioielli e dei loro disegni originali, conduce il lettore alla scoperta di episodi pubblici e momenti privati dei sovrani d'Italia.

The Wandering Princess
Helene was a strong-willed princess, raised in France but closely connected with the court of Queen Victoria. After the premature end to a romance with Victoria's grandson, she married into the royal family of Italy. However, Helene began extended adventuresome trips into Africa where she became a big-game hunter, explorer and travel writer, escaping from an unhappy marriage and the boredom of court life. Her travels took her around the world, but her sense of royal duty brought her back to nurse aboard a hospital ship in Libyan waters, then to an important role as head of the Italian Red Cross nurses during the First World War while her husband headed Italy's Third Army, and her two sons served in the artillery and the navy. Afterwards, her strong Italian nationalism made her an ally to Gabriele d'Annunzio and Benito Mussolini, but the disastrous Second World War saw her grandchildren interned in Austria and her older son die as a British prisoner-of-war while she continued her charitable work in Naples. When the country voted to become a republic in 1946, Helene was the only member of the royal family allowed to remain in Italy with her second 'secret' husband.
