Para Harry, esta é enfim a sua história.

Weimar, 1945. Poco después de la liberación del campo de concentración de Buchenwald, siete hombres pertenecientes a la Regia Marina Italiana se adentran en el cementerio de la ciudad y se dirigen hacia una sórdida explanada cubierta de estacas numeradas.

Al arrancarla, observan el nombre de pila que ha estado oculto hasta entonces y que les confirma el gran valor de su misión.

Filippo ed Elisabetta. Due vite, una coppia. Una storia d’amore che s’intreccia con la storia del Novecento e l’attualità, iniziata nell’estate del 1939 quando Elisabetta aveva tredici anni e Filippo, nato principe di Grecia e Danimarca, diciotto.

È stata la prima regina a comparire in televisione e anche la prima a dover affrontare una serie di scandali che hanno messo a dura prova la sua pazienza e la sopravvivenza stessa della monarchia. E il 6 febbraio ne ha raggiunto un altro: il Giubileo di Platino, 70 anni seduta sul trono inglese come mai nessuno nella Storia.
