Emanuele Filiberto Umberto Reza Ciro René Maria di Savoia (born 22 June 1972)[2][3] is a member of the House of Savoy. He is the son of Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy[4][2] and only male-line grandson of Umberto II, the last King of Italy.[5] In 2024, Emanuele Filiberto became one of two claimants to the headship of the House of Savoy after the death of his father.[6]
Emanuele Filiberto grew up in exile since the Italian constitution at the time prohibited the male issue of the Savoy kings of Italy from entering or staying on Italian territory.[7] Since returning to Italy following the lifting of the ban in 2002, he has made many appearances on national television, including his participation as a contestant in Ballando con le stelle (the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars), and the Sanremo Music Festival.[8]
He is married to French actress Clotilde Courau.
