Wedding procession of Prince Amedeo

1927

Wedding procession of Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta and Princess Anne of Orléans on 5th of November 1927 in Naples, Italy.

On November 5, 1927, Naples, Italy, witnessed a grand spectacle as Prince Amedeo of Savoy, Duke of Aosta, married his first cousin, Princess Anne of Orléans, in a wedding that blended royal tradition with the vibrant energy of the city. The day began with a civil ceremony at the San Ferdinando Palace, followed by a religious service at the majestic Basilica of San Francesco di Paola, its neoclassical dome presiding over the festivities. The couple, both descended from illustrious European dynasties—Prince Amedeo from the House of Savoy and Princess Anne from the House of Orléans—drew a glittering assembly of royalty, including King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy, King Alfonso XIII of Spain, and Queen Amelie of Portugal, alongside other luminaries like Crown Prince Umberto and Princess Marie José of Belgium.
The procession through Naples was a sight to behold, with the couple emerging from the basilica to cheers from the gathered crowds. The bride, radiant in her gown, and the groom, towering at 6 feet 6 inches, made their way to the Palace of Capodimonte for a balcony appearance, a moment that symbolized their union’s promise amid the backdrop of a Europe still healing from war. The event, steeped in pomp and elegance, reflected not only a personal milestone but also the enduring ties between royal houses, captured forever in the annals of Naples’ history.
