The splintered Italian royal household has long been squabbling over who has the strongest claim to the defunct throne, but now, there is one less man in the running, as Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, has died at the age of 77 on 1 June.
Born on 27 September 1943 at Villa della Cisterna in Florence, Prince Amedeo was the only child of Prince Aimone, 4th Duke of Aosta, and Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark. His early life was spent briefly in an internment camp in Austria, following Italy s defeat in World War II.
