|
00-00-0000
Dateline: ROME
After a half-century of exile and longing, Italy's former royals returned
Monday to the land where their family once reigned, ending the shame
of banishment imposed for the monarchy's support of Fascist dictator
Benito Mussolini during World War II.
Victor Emmanuel, the son of the last king, along with his wife and
son made an unannounced arrival in Italy as commoners early Monday,
immediately traveling to the Vatican for a private meeting with Pope
John Paul II. They then jumped back on a plane for Switzerland, where
the family has been living.
