2023 Crop Circles

The jewels have been in the vault since 1946, when Italy’s last king, Umberto II, deposited them with a note reading “To be returned to the rightful owner” soon before fleeing to Portugal. According to a 1976 report in the Guardian, they included pieces that were used for “state occasions” as well as pieces purchased for Umberto’s grandmother using state funds. In 2006, Italy’s current prime minister, Mario Draghi, began discussing the prospect of putting the jewels on display in his role as the head of the Bank of Italy, but the talks didn’t result in an exhibition.

It’s unclear what would happen to the jewels if the Savoy legal claim is successful. “We have to take this step by step. First, the Bank of Italy must return them and then the heirs of the royal family will decide what to do with them,” Emanuele, who is Umberto’s grandson, told the Telegraph. “The jewelry has been hidden away in a chest for more than 70 years. Unlike the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, these have never even been on display to the public. It is about time that they were returned to the heirs of the royal family.”

The copyright of the photo says 2016 or 2018, since it does not look very good. It definitely doesn't say 2023.
