The Duke and Duchess of Savoia and family
The Duke and Duchess of Savoia with the duke's children and grandchildren.
The Duke of Aosta is still widely regarded as that. An Italian court also stated he cannot be the head of the House of Savoy.
Majority of royal supporters in Italy believe he is not the head of the House. Certainly not now. His chances were when the late King Umberto had passed to have made his mark.
He will be considered only as HRH, Duca di Aosta and nothing more.
I think he should be the right pretender, but his cousin Vittorio Emanuele was the last Crown Prince, the last King' s son and that is important despite of his bad reputation. Monarchy won't will come back to Italy anymore so it's not important if there are two pretenders.
