La prima regina

Step into the grandeur of the Savoy court, where power and intrigue reign. Meet Nina, a humble servant, and Margherita, the first queen of Italy, two women from opposite ends of the social spectrum. Yet, they share a fierce determination—to break free from their gilded cages and take control of their own destinies. A captivating tale of strength, courage, and the fight for independence in a world where women are expected to bow down.

1868, NINA is an ordinary scullery maid serving Princess Margherita, who married the heir to the Italian throne a few months ago. For Nina, it’s a nightmare because she realises she is a pawn in a maze of intrigues. Her life changes, however, when she meets an elderly butler of the Savoy household. Nina learns to read and write, studies, encounters love and, over the years, crosses paths several times with the woman who is now Queen Margherita. But, one day, she is faced with a very difficult choice…

 

1868, MARGHERITA is ready to be the worthy and perfect wife of the Prince of Savoy. But as far as her husband Umberto is concerned, she might as well not exist. She soon discovers that her marriage is pure fiction and that her only duty is to give birth to a male heir. And yet Margherita has no intention of being sacrificed to the crown. She will be the one to conquer the hearts of the people and become an icon of her time: the first queen of Italy… until that fateful day in July 1900, when her entire world will capsize in just a moment.
