Mensaje de SAR el Príncipe Amadeo de Saboya con ocasión de la Navidad 2020 y del Año Nuevo 2021
Queridos italianos:
Se acerca el final de un año que ha sido sin duda el más difícil que han vivido nuestras generaciones, un año de graves sufrimientos y dolores que han afectado a muchas familias en todas partes, así como a nuestra vida social y al tejido conectivo de nuestra identidad nacional. Esta pandemia, que afecta traicioneramente a grandes y pequeños, no solo a nuestra nación sino al mundo entero, nos ha cogido por sorpresa, desprevenidos y, por tanto, más vulnerables. Solo gracias al generoso altruismo de todo el personal sanitario, incluidos muchos que se han visto personalmente afectados, ha sido posible contener parcialmente este virus. Todo ello ha generado una crisis económica sin precedentes que ha golpeado duramente a amplios sectores de la producción y el comercio, con graves efectos sobre el empleo, sin perdonar a los artesanos y autónomos.
We have been pummelled by information disseminated in an incorrect and contradictory form that has generated confusion, anxiety, and anguish, with serious consequences also on a psychological level. I am thinking of the young people who, due to physical distancing, are deprived of that joy, freedom and human contacts, indispensable for their growth and formation; to the many elderly people who, in need of attention, moral and material support, have remained isolated, confused and deprived of any contact with their loved ones. We Italians have experienced other moments of serious difficulties which we have faced with intelligence and determination, such as in the aftermath of the war, when an entire people were able to resume the path of civil progress and widespread prosperity from underneath the rubble. This recovery will be long and difficult, both as regards public health and the economic situation. An extraordinary commitment of the institutions will be necessary to return to growth and create appropriate aid for those in difficulty.
Parliament must return to being a force of lucid legislative capacity, so that it can pass laws that do not create those confusions and injustices that make the governmental institutions unpopular. It will be essential to invest in safeguarding the hydrogeological structure of the country so that climate change is appropriate addressed and combated. The commitment must be urgent to adapt the road, railway, and port infrastructures of Italy in order to look to the future with a long-term competitive perspective which, also in relation to our geographical position in the Mediterranean, makes Italy a privileged gateway to Europe, Africa, and the Middle and Far East. I would like to end my thoughts by sharing the wonderful news of the return to their families of our fishermen from Mazara del Vallo.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a New Year that will bring us trust and hope to be able to look serenely at the future of our children and grandchildren.
Amedeo of Savoy,
San Rocco,

Message from H.R.H. Princess Maria Isabella of Savoy-Genoa on the Occasion of Christmas and the New Year.
Dearest friends, May an affectionate wish for peace, harmony, and serenity reach you all and your families during this Holy Christmas.
It was a difficult year for all of humanity; the serious losses of family members, friends and acquaintances. The pandemic, social unrest, serious crises and economic difficulties have severely affected our daily lives.
The word crisis in ancient Greek meant “change.” It is therefore our duty to keep alive hope and commitment to one another, so that the crises of our recent days will end swiftly and may instead become forces of change aimed at amelioration for all, at social growth, and at development, in order to achieve social peace, and to guarantee and ensure a better future for us all.
Con la confianza en la esperanza de que Nuestro Señor nos proteja, nos ilumine y guíe nuestros pasos durante el Año Nuevo 2021 y hacia una nueva y más tranquila vida, ofrezco mis mejores deseos.
María Isabel de Saboya-Génova
São Paulo, Brasil
