EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Princess Marie Jose of Italy, born Maria Amalia Gabriele Viktorija of the Belgian Royal House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, is seen gracefully skiing down a snowy slope in the early 1930s. Marie Jose (1906-2001), the elegant and charismatic wife of Umberto II, the last King of Italy (reigned 1946), was known for her love of sports and the outdoors. The image captures the princess in her element, her ski poles poised for the next turn, her eyes focused intently on the path ahead, and her radiant smile reflecting the joy and freedom she found in the winter sport. The pristine, snow-covered landscape surrounding her adds to the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. Marie Jose's passion for skiing was a testament to her adventurous spirit and her commitment to maintaining an active lifestyle. Her love for the sport began during her childhood in Belgium and continued throughout her life, even after she became the Queen Consort of Italy in 1946. This photograph not only showcases Marie Jose's athleticism and grace but also offers a glimpse into the history of the Italian monarchy during a period of transition and change. The image serves as a reminder of the princess's enduring legacy and her contributions to Italian history.
