Un roi face è Mussolini

Vittorio Emanuele III reigned over Italy from 1900 to 1946, but did nothing to win the celebrity. It was an invisible king, closed in his private residences and in family life. Yet his reign crosses all the convulsions of the first half of the Twentieth century. This balanced biography is based on archival documents, some of them unpublished, and allows us to understand one of the most enigmatic kings of the Twentieth century.
