For generations, the Italian peninsula was Europe’s fragmented battlefield. This book is the definitive account of how the House of Savoy ended that chaos and forged a modern nation. It is a story of how ruthless Realpolitik prevailed over romantic zeal. Through access to private archives and meticulous research, this saga of a dynasty is told one life at a time, revealing successes, failures, and profound humanity. It chronicles the Savoys’ relentless ascent from their origins as rulers of a shrewd Alpine realm that used dynastic marriages, military genius, and calculated diplomacy to European kings. Stripping away the simple myths of the Risorgimento , this account reveals the complex, often brutal political engine behind Italian unity. From the contested Alpine passes to the triumphant entry into Rome, this is the astonishing, dramatic saga of the family that sacrificed everything to make Italy a reality.
