Which crown can be seen at the feet of the coffin ?
The ducal crown of Aosta ?
Did the Aostas retain their regalia after WW2 ?
I thought they came out of the conflict penniless and would not expect that they would have kept such a crown.
May be it was lent by the Republic or some Museum...
Would like to know more about it
José.
