I am looking forward to seeing the guests. Will any other Savoys be there (from the other branches)? Spanish relatives?

"Colorful" life indeed!

Hmm... colorful life indeed. VE belonged to a secret masonic lodge? Indeed. I'll be curious to see who attends the (cough, cough) funeral Mass, too.

This is an opportunity to revisit this performance by his son and heir, who does a remarkably, in every sense, impersonation of the great Dalida.
