Biography

Born in the Miramare Castle in Trieste on 12 September 1933, Maria Cristina was the second daughter of Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta and Princess Anne of Orléans, who were first cousins and married in 1927.[2] Her older sister was Margherita, Archduchess of Austria-Este.[3] She was given the names Maria Cristina Giusta Elena Giovanna and baptized the day after her birth in Miramare Castle.[4] Her godparents were Prince Jean, Duke of Guise and Princess Hélène of Orléans.[5]

After her father was appointed Viceroy of Italian Ethiopia, Maria Cristina spent part of her childhood in Africa.[6] She returned to Italy with her mother and sister shortly before the outbreak of World War II. Her father was captured by the British and died of typhus in Nairobi on 3 March 1942.[7] Later that year, she received her first communion in Vatican City alongside her older sister.[8] At the start of the war, she lived in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence.[9] In 1943, Germany invaded Italy, and her mother was arrested the following year alongside Princess Irene, Duchess of Aosta. She was imprisoned in Kleinwalsertal.[10][11] Her cousin, Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark, recounted how the Germans threatened her with a gun after she had picked up a leaflet dropped by an Allied plane.[12] In May 1945, the family was released[13] and returned to Italy on 7 July.[14] After the referendum which abolished the Italian monarchy, her family briefly moved to Belgium and then Switzerland.[9]

Maintaining her ties with the European elite, Maria Cristina became the godmother of her nephew, Prince Lorenz of Belgium on 28 December 1955.[15] On 13 May 1963, she became godmother to Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg.[16]

On 29 January 1967, Maria Cristina married Prince Casimir of Bourbon-Two Sicilies in Jacarezinho, Brazil.[17] The pair had four children: Luis Alfonso, Anna Cecilia, Elena, and Alejandro.[18][19] Following their marriage, the couple lived in Brazil before attending the 90th birthday of her maternal uncle, Henri, Count of Paris in Amboise in 1998.[20] From then until the Covid-19 pandemic, she lived with her sister, Margherita, in Sartirana Lomellina before Margherita moved to Switzerland.[21]

Maria Cristina of Savoy-Aosta died in São Paulo on 18 November 2023, at the age of 90.[22] She was survived by her husband, four children, and six grandchildren.
