HM King Umberto I of Italy “The second monarch of unified Italy, King Umberto I (1844-1900) was born into a dynasty at war. During the Prince’s adolescence, his father, King Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy, and Giuseppe Garibaldi were fighting the patchwork of independent ducal states and kingdoms that made up Italy and working towards the union of 1861 known as the Risorgimento. The Savoy dynasty had ruled territories in and around Italy since the year 1003 but their claim to the unified kingdom was not universally popular. …” Extract taken from the ‘Henry Poole & Co – The First Tailor of Savile Row’ book.
