From thousands of loyal Italians thronging the streets of Naples went up a mighty roar. To the Princess of Piedmont, Crown Princess Marie-José, had just been born a nine-pound boy "with dark hair, dark eyes and a florid aspect," who may one day sit on the throne of Italy as King Vittorio Emanuele...
