Dear Readers,
Rome was liberated by the Allies in June 1944.
The next day, King Victor Emmanuel III resigned and his son Crown Prince Umberto became the acting head of state. In June 1946, King Umberto II abdicated in favor of a Republic after only 35 days on the throne when Italians voted to abolish the Monarchy.

King Victor Emmanuel’s contribution to California agriculture, the artichoke, has rarely been acknowledged, however, “Grazie” to L’Italo-Americano reader Dorothy Capurro, who many years ago visited the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens and my own visit to the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens in Santa Rosa, California, I can share this information with you.
