C’era una volta un regno. Storia di Regine e di Re. Ornella Tarantola in conversation with Natalia Augias
IN ITALIAN
Once upon a time there was a kingdom. Which, for better or worse, still exists. How many kings have succeeded one another on the English throne, but if we think about it, the Queen is one: Elizabeth II. She ascended the throne just over twenty years old, she rode through the last century and part of this one with absolute loyalty to the crown. Sometimes not understanding, sometimes the only one who understood. Then the others, from Henry VIII to his little daughter who became more powerful than her father. Up to our own days. Charles III. Natalia Augias takes us on a journey through history, rereading together the rites and traditions of an ancient kingdom that we proud republicans, all things considered, continue to admire. May there always be Princes and Princesses inside us?
