Principessa Maria Francesca di Savoia e Padre Benedetto Boano - Italia / Casa Savoia – Lotto di 2 lettere autografe storiche per i Principini in esilio (1945-1946) - 1945

This lot consists of two historically significant handwritten letters by Princess Maria Francesca of Savoy and Father Benedetto Boano from the period of 1945-1946, the years immediately following World War II. Maria Francesca di Savoia belonged to the Italian royal House of Savoy, which saw exile after the abolition of the monarchy in 1946. Letters from such figures provide a personal glimpse into the disruption and emotional landscape experienced by royal family members during political upheavals. Father Benedetto Boano was an Italian Jesuit known for his religious and wartime activities. These letters, addressed to the young princes in exile, likely contain personal, spiritual, or political reflections reflective of that turbulent era. Documents like these are invaluable for historians or collectors interested in European royal history, the impact of WWII on monarchy, and the intertwining of religion and politics in mid-20th-century Italy.
