«An unexpected and at the same time historic visit: this morning Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy went to Palazzo Bacaredda».

This is what we read in a note from the Municipality of Cagliari, to account for the stop in the Sardinian capital of the heir to the House of Savoy.

«Welcomed by Mayor Paolo Truzzu , accompanied by the Sardinian delegation of the dynastic orders of the Royal House of Savoy represented by Massimiliano Manca di Mores, Nicola Zoccheddu, inspector for Sardinia of the Guards of Honor, and by Ugo D'Atri, president of the National Institute for the Guard of Honor at the royal tombs of the Pantheon, the prince appreciated the municipal treasures . In particular, the Spierink tapestry, the large canvas by Giovanni Margagliotti».

And then the Sala Sabauda, «where there is a miniature of the chariot of Sant'Efisio, which «every 1st of May attracts tens of thousands of devotees and visitors, carries the statue of the martyr saint, so revered by the population of Cagliari and beyond», explained the mayor inviting him to the next 368th Festa.

"Cagliari is a fascinating city, kissed by the sea and rich in history," said the prince. "I will do everything possible to return on May 1st," Vittorio Emanuele's son promised.
