      abstract = {This book explores the evolution of the role of the heirs  to the throne of Italy between 1860 and 1900. It focuses on  the future kings Umberto I (1844-1900) and Vittorio  Emanuele III (1869-1947), and their respective spouses,  Margherita of Savoia (1851-1926) and Elena of Montenegro  (1873-1952). It sheds light on the soft power the Italian  royals were attempting to generate, by identifying and  examining four specific areas of monarchical activity:  firstly, the heirs public role and the manner in which they  attempted to craft an Italian identity through a process of  self-presentation; secondly, the national, royal,  linguistic and military education of the heirs; thirdly,  the promotion of a family-centred dynasty deploying both  male and female elements in the public realm; and finally  the readiness to embrace different modes of mobility in the  construction of italianita. By analysing the growing  importance of the royal heirs and their performance on the  public stage in post-Risorgimento Italy, this study  investigates the attempted construction of a cohesive  national identity through the crown and, more specifically,  the heirs to the throne.},
