This book explores the evolution of the role of the heirs to the
throne of Italy between 1860 and 1900. It focuses on the future
kings Umberto I (1844-1900) and Vittorio Emanuele III (1869-1947),
and their respective spouses, Margherita of Savoia (1851-1926) and
Elena of Montenegro (1873-1952). It sheds light on the soft power
the Italian royals were attempting to generate, by identifying and
examining four specific areas of monarchical activity: firstly, the
heirs' public role and the manner in which they attempted to craft
an Italian identity through a process of self-presentation;
secondly, the national, royal, linguistic and military education of
the heirs; thirdly, the promotion of a family-centred dynasty
deploying both male and female elements in the public realm; and
finally the readiness to embrace different modes of mobility in the
construction of italianita. By analysing the growing importance of
the royal heirs and their performance on the public stage in
post-Risorgimento Italy, this study investigates the attempted
construction of a cohesive national identity through the crown and,
more specifically, the heirs to the throne.
