An Italian court has dismissed the Savoy familyâs request to reclaim the crown jewels, which hold substantial historical value and comprise over 6,000 diamonds and 2,000 pearls. The jewels have been held by the Bank of Italy since 1946, shortly after the monarchy was abolished. Despite the royal family's assertion of ownership rights, the court found their claim unfounded, concluding that the jewels belong to the state. The Savoy heirs plan to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights regarding the ruling.
The Rome civil court ruled that the claim of the Savoy family to the crown jewels was manifestly unfounded, ensuring the jewels remain state property.
Olina Capolino, lawyer for the Bank of Italy, expressed hope that the state will display the historic jewels in a museum for public appreciation.
