Naples, July 6 and 7, 2025 – H.R.H. Princess Camilla of Bourbon Two Sicilies, Duchess of Castro, along with her daughters, T.R.H. Princesses Maria Carolina and Maria Chiara of Bourbon Two Sicilies, visited Naples for a weekend dedicated to charity and art history. [1]
During the morning of Sunday, July 6, at the Pio Monte della Misericordia—a charitable institution founded in 1601 by seven young nobles—Princesses Maria Carolina and Maria Chiara donated five thousand euros. This donation was made on behalf of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George and the Delegation of Naples and Campania, led by Marchioness Federica de Gregorio Cattaneo. The funds will support “La Scintilla,” an association that assists 30 families of disabled children and participates in the Pio Monte solidarity network. The Princesses were received by the Superintendent of Pio Monte, Fabrizia Paternò, and the Governor, Alberto Sifola. They showed the guests Caravaggio’s famous painting “Seven Works of Mercy,” the picture gallery, and the museum, while expressing their appreciation for the work carried out by the volunteers of the La Scintilla association.
On Sunday afternoon, the Princesses visited the monumental complex of Santa Maria La Nova, which contains, among other things, the tomb of the Prince of Wallachia (current Romania), Vlad III, as a recent attribution seems to confirm. They were received by Giuseppe Reale, who explained the history of the church, the former Franciscan monastery, and the cloister.
On the morning of Monday, July 7, H.R.H. Princess Camilla of Bourbon Two Sicilies visited the children assisted by the Asso.gio.ca Association, chaired by Gian Franco Wurzburger. The Princess donated three thousand euros to the association on behalf of the Constantinian Order of Saint George, led by her spouse H.R.H. Prince Charles of Bourbon Two Sicilies, Duke of Castro and Head of the Royal House. “I am thrilled,” declared the Duchess of Castro, “to be able to support projects of this quality, which allow many less fortunate children to have educational opportunities, recreation, and games
