Vintage photograph of Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy-Aosta, Count of Turin crossing a river with his horse. Vittorio (1870 - 1946), was a grandchild of King Victor Emmanuel II and a member of the House of Savoy. He was a cousin of Victor Emmanuel III. In 1897 Vittorio Emanuele challenged Prince Henri of Orleans to a duel, after Henri described, in several articles in the newspaper Le Figaro, the Italian soldiers being held captive in Ethiopia during the First Italo-Ethiopian War as cowards.
