The Queen's pearls

Dearest Gentle Reader,

if the royal elegance and rumors of the ton are your cup of tea, you loved The Law according to Lidia Poët and are longing season 3, reading about our very own Margaret of Savoy or Margherita di Savoia, the very first Queen of the United Kingdom of Italy, will definitely bring you much joy.

She was much more than the diamond of the season: she literally built the jewels of the Italian crown! 

Born in the 1850s, Lidia and Margherita are the 2 faces of the same coin and symbols of the genie of Turin and Piedmont of that era, as well as of Italian modernity. Each one in her own very personal way molded different aspects of the Italian customs and history, like very few other women in the world. 

Queen Margaret wasn't as ahead of her times as Lidia Poët yet she did understand what Italy needed and knew how to provide many small meaningful changes on different issues that eventually resulted into a general change of Italian society.
